Thank you for the praise, Hugo

Nick,

You are welcome and I would also like to say there is something else going on here that is equally praiseworthy. You have demonstrated that you have "vision" . In this context it means you were able to see past the rust and degradation of the set and imagine what it would be like restored. Pete also outlined this point.

When I acquired my KTE-5 it was just a grossly rusted chassis and a mangled mess underneath of years of modifications and decay. But I imagined what it might have once been like.

It is an interesting feature of human nature (and not ideal) that people treat beautiful looking things well and often abuse or don't care for what might look like rubbish.

One way as restorers that we can ensure the survival of vintage electronics into the future is to make it look beautiful again. It will be cared for and maintain financial value and less likely end up on a rubbish dump too.

So congratulations to you for having this vision. It sets a wonderful benchmark for your peers.
