Re: Graves Aerial AC superhet
That is a superb restoration job. I also have one of these sets, but not in such nice condition as yours!
They are definitely unusual beasts, and I don't suppose that many were made in the first place. Regards Philip |

Re: Graves Aerial AC superhet
I must add to this thread, courtesy of a forum member, I now have the correct Knobs and a better dial. Cheers John! I just need to fit them now.

Re: Graves Aerial AC superhet
Hi Mark,
Sorry to not have noticed your thread before, it was started at the time I was taking a bit of a break from the hobby so I missed it. Could I add my belated praise and appreciation for a first-class restoration now instead. I'm not a fan of 'woodies' as a rule, but must make an exception for your Graves set. Very well done!
