Default Re: Is it a Bush TUG.68 ?

Stage one of rubber wire replacement, the receiver unit.

I had hoped to re-used the original cotton sleeving to cover the three cables but it was so rotten and kept breaking and tearing so I gave up on that one.

The rubber insulation was in a very poor state, had I shown it some mains it would have ended with a bang for sure.

Next, the same treatment for the main deck.
What is it that degrades the rubber on the upper parts more than those on the under side, I assuming it’s the acids in the dust from pollution?
