Very impressive work there, Lloyd!
A nice 'honest' cabinet repair and a cracking job with the tuning dial.
It does have rather a sinister look about it- I can see where you get the gates of Mordor from!
I must confess, I have never felt comfortable with Murphy styling- but, much like Philips, they engineered things their own way and I have great respect for them as manufacturers of quality products.
Entertaining write up too!
All the best with the chassis restoration,
Cheers
Nick
