Default Re: Bush DAC90A, Write-off to Worker in no easy steps.

Many thanks for the positive responses gentlemen, the set came together rather well, much better than initially hoped.

The write-up took some work too, trying to keep to the mains points without missing any details or drifting off into tangents. I'd not considered a BVWS write-up either, currently I'm not a member, am now rethinking this

Ed, I've just taken a few more photos this morning, including one of the dial, powered up. Taking my time to repaint the lamp reflector has paid off, the set is using original specification lamps, no other modifications. In the photo, the set had reached normal running temperature.

I've also included a better photo of the sets new mains lead, plug and cable grommet/retaining disc, taken at the time of the work.

The little plastic cover on the pins of the mains plug are for safety, saves accidentally plugging 'a work-in-progress' set directly into the mains. I do this at work too, as some of our test leads are mains leads, with mains plugs on but, open at the other end terminated by bootlace ferrules.
