Hi gents, please be assured that I will not destroy the set, it's just too nice. It's sitting in my lounge and I'm hoping that the lopt has just got hot and melted the wax and that the fault is s simple one. There were 2 pools of wax, one light yellowy under one winding (few turns) and one brown under the other winding (many turns). I need to re-roof my workshop before I get it back to the bench, but before that is holiday and work stuff so it will be safe as it'll stay indoors until then.

I'm sure when I do get back to it, someone will help guide me through what has to be done to restore it back to working order.
