Hi all,
An update on the Baird.

The back cover is now finished, it just needs some replica labels to be made for it.

I've replaced the CRT socket with a Duodecal type to fit the new tube and replaced the rubber wiring on the socket. I've kept the rather messy look of the wiring.

I've also replaced the rubber wires running from the PSU plug to the timebase chassis.

I've has a quick go at cleaning up the cabinet and have put the radio chassis inside.

The last photo shows the view looking down through the CRT protection glass to the glowing valves of the radio chassis.

I've started to draw up the timebase chassis, but I'm now taking a little break from the Baird whilst I go back to the HMV 905 for a bit.

Cheers
Andy
