Default Re: Hi From Cathy Lissen/Eveready Kenilworth??

Hi Ash here... I received all of the new capacitors today, so started with re-stuffing the smoothing block capacitor. Ordered some turret tags but nothing like I remember ..tiny compared with the old days. So I used some brass strip and used PTFE cable as described earlier. Idea was to solder caps to brass terminals on one piece of Tufnol and sandwich that between to identical pieces, with a notch in the top one to allow the wires to pass through as on the original. Paxolin looking base is broken so I will search my hoard for a new bit. I have lots of epoxy glass but not really 30's. I need to put three identifying markers on the outside wires before I fully fasten it all together on the chassis

Enough for today !
