Set arrived, but the cover for the transformer on the speaker was smashed to Smithereens, somehow the seller decided to detach and bag on the outside of the radio??

So hours of superglue, headaches, VERY bright LED lamps, car body filler. It has been rebuilt, the 6 million dollar man springs to mind. Obviously this would never be the same, so going to spray a nice copper finish on this, as this set seems to be copper orientated..

Bakelite case now separated from the frame, steel frame to be cleaned and re-painted.

Original Waxers still in situ, looking forward to this restoration..

Looks like someone has done a half wave AC/DC MOD with a smoothing cap, would this set be OK with full wave rectification, I think so!!?

Only problem is The 'C' set info only seems available in Danish / German, does the 'A' version in English have the same schematics..

Cheers.
