Hi Mark

That looks wonderful. Where did you source your dial lamps from, ive got one of those radios too minus the dial lamps. So need to get some of the correct (or as near as possible) value.

Did you replace the lamp light diffuser with a modern material? Apparently the originals are made from Cellulose acetate sheet, so burn really quickly and ferociously if they get hot enough.

Cheers

Mike
