Hi,

Thanks for the good wishes Andy and your interesting notes. I came into radio restoration aged 54 as I wanted something to do during our long winters. I too am self taught and still have a great deal to learn but this to me is the fun in this hobby. Good luck with your workshop and don't forget to put some decent heating and lighting in as you will need both even more than me living further north.

I might end up with both a 14" and a 17" Ekco at this rate Danny if I can restore your scrap 14" set in due course. I'll be delighted to get my hands on it then I can make progress on my own set; until I get the LOPT sorted out I'm not touching anything else on my set as I could very easily lose the plot. Many thanks for your kindness.

Kind regards, Col.
