A lovely job. Another one of those "Fine Sets" returned to looking, and I've no doubt sounding, very fine indeed.

The only other picture of one that I can find, where the area under the handle can be seen, shows the same unprotected hole. Maybe they were assuming (hoping?!) that the owner would only use the carry handle when the set was fully mobile and running on batteries? A high risk assumption if so! I wonder whether there was any warning about the potential hazard of treating it as a portable when on mains in the originally supplied instructions for use?
