Wink Re: More BUSH DAC10 Woes!

Making slow but steady progress with this DAC10 but didn't expect that almost every section would need replaced, rebuilt or refashioned in some way, especially the wiring!

Turning my attention to the scale lamp holder I decided against fabricating a new one from a strip of Paxolin and simply pushed a couple of grommets into place to enable me to use modern bulb holders with new 3.5V 0.15A bulbs. This avoids any possible mismatch between old and new ES threads - an area where I"ve encountered issues previously!

With the bulb holder and pointer assembly back in place it looks like this :-

The pre-set levers have been covered with heat shrink to ensure that there is no chance of shorting with the bulb connections - I'm fairly happy with this.
