Thank you Andrew - an idea worth contemplating. And as for hauling one around the bench (when necessary), your method is the same as mine. As for the 'appearance only' factor, (and this is the main - but not the only - reason behind my idea), it is simply because in my shack it will then readily 'blend in' with the other vintage comms. radios that are next to it (Racal RA-17, Eddystone radios, etc. ~ all with vertical chrome handles) and that the aforesaid handles are simply available from my 'junk box' . . . and are looking for a good use.
