[QUOTE="Des Miles, post: 988282, member: 14311"] That restoration came out great! You are lucky to be situated where you are w.r.t. to being able to easily obtain vintage spares, especially valves. I have a number of sets that, for me, being in ZA and due to the costs involved in sourcing new valves from overseas, does not make it viable to restore. There is no real market for vintage valve radios here. Also the fact that there are so few M/W stations one can actually receive in ZA (also depending where one stays in the country) . Unlike Europe ( I think) Long-Wave broad casts are non existing here. Looking forward to your next restoration. :2thumbs: [/QUOTE]
