Default Re: Philips V5A - never again

Nice work and brave too. I spent a happy minute or so clicking between the 'before' and 'after' pictures in delight.

Glad to see a few more balloon valves back as I think that's one of the endearing things about 30's radios that was usually lost post-war. My Ultra 22 had a hideous Marconi rectifier valve in it (which was incidentally flashing over) and that had to go for an original UU60 balloon type obtained at considerable expense.
