Hi,

A very good write up with comprehensive information and a well restored set which would possibly have ended up in a skip or been stripped of its valves; excellent job David as usual and I've been privileged to see others you've pulled back from the brink. Your cabinet crack filling works a treat; the crack was a nasty one but who would know now you've worked your magic on it.

Given the age of these sets I too used to change all the waxy caps on sight and many times too the electrolytics curing lots of problems in one go.

The pictures tell the story even better than the text; another set you've saved I wonder what will be next?

Kind regards, Col.
