Golly, I'm surprised the brass details on the speaker grille survived intact given the significance they took on shortly after the set was made. Urgent memo from marketing to the styling department!

thanks for the info.Sorry for the family pic .don`t know how they got in there.Only two of the Brass details are original.after replacing all the usual suspects the set goes better than any other 3 valve set in my collection.Tony.
