The inner engineer took over there David. Light hearted interest at start, but gathered momentum to enthusiasm and a finished pride restoration, for many more years of enjoyable listening entertainment.<br><br>Very much enjoyed your time and detail, to give an old engineer a sense of the early years in the trade. Thank you. 😊👍

Well done David, looks 100% better after your work on it, there is always something different to find and fix. Half the fun of the hobby.
