Wow, I wasn't expecting such a response! I really appreciate you all taking the time to praise my restoration. I feel flattered by your very kind remarks. Many thanks to you all!

Yes that's the plan! Until I acquired the original A22 I tried to make my reproduction version as authentic as possible. But I don't feel that's particularly necessary anymore. So now it'll still be an A22 alright, but with a difference!

Nothing special here. It was simply ordinary 80g paper and an inkjet printer. In fact the sheet I used was originally the test print, but it came out so well the first time I used it!

Nothing wrong with using resistors in series or parallel to make up a value. The crudeness I was referring to was just the poor way they had been soldered. Where the two resistors were joined they were sticking off of the chassis almost fouling other connections!

Yes both transformers are the originals shown in the 'before' images. They were given exactly the same treatment as the metalwork of the chassis. That is, removal of the paint with jelly paint stripper, a clean with methylated spirit, and a repaint with the silver and black Smoothrite as appropriate.

From my local hardware shop which reqularly has it in stock. I believe its generally available from the well known DIY stores as well. I can't say that I've ever had a problem obtaining it in that thickness whenever I've needed some.
