Then a nicely scrubbed-up switch, and a horribly dusty loudspeaker. There's been a lot of elbow-grease and hot water gone into this project so far! Don't worry, not on the speaker cone!

Friday night - time for the last motor lubrication, and

The other night I did start to pick up my jar of remarkably malt-looking ISO100 oil instead of my glass of whisky... I need to remember to put a lid on!
