Hi,
You're on the the home straight now Alan and the smoking resistor should be easy enough to sort out; perhaps a crossed wire due to playing around a bit as this is easy to do. On the set I worked on the electrical components appeared to be more robust than the alloy castings so hopefully you are in with a good chance of it speaking to you shortly.
The most interesting part of this restoration for me was watching how you resolved the broken spindle problem bringing it to a successful conclusion. This spindle problem could have rendered the set useless. I'm pleased you explained in full and supplied detailed drawings as this will encourage others to have a go at making components. I used my lathe but you used your mill for cutting the spindle flats; I don't own a mill but had I done so this would have been my first choice of machine.
Doesn't Christmas get in the way of us playing with our toys? Keep up the good work.
Kind regards, Col.

Happiness is a wreck of a cabinet to restore.
