Very good to see that you got such a good result.

We all know that Bakelite radios don't post too well unless the packing is exemplary, but these 4-sided types (i.e. ones with an open bottom) seem particularly prone to disaster, especially if the chassis is heavy.

Keep your eye open for a replacement dial glass as that would really make your repairs virtually invisble.

Cheers,

Nick.
