Hameg scope repair

[Yorkie]

You've got me thinking about how to make one of those mouth-lamps now.

- Joe

Our first task as apprentices was to make one, then practice with it day in, day out in the workshop till we were proficient, which took several weeks. I've still got the one that I made somewhere - I'll have to dig it out, and some time, in another thread, I'll use some old lead pipe that I stripped out of my son's house to show the stages in making a straight joint, and a branch joint. (Assuming that I still can!). To cut and scrape lead pipe and to shape it and scrape it clean we used a pruning knife. I've still got that somewhere too!

Utterly irrelvant to vintage radio or mending scopes, but it might interest someone out there.

Happy days!

As A.E. Houseman wrote in 'A Shropshire Lad':

Quote:

Now, of my three score years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.

What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?

That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again...

End quote.

Quite so.
