BVWS Summer Bulletin - Restoring a Vernier Dial

[Yorkie]

Thank you all for kind and encouraging words... makes it worth the effort.

Hows the clever way of making perforated backs going as an article David?

cheers Gary

I'm afraid that it's stalled at the moment Gary because I started making a jig for a Murphy U198, then got side-tracked by having to erect a fence. I will do it though - I've taken most of the pics, and written quite a lot of notes that I can tidy up - I know that Carl Glover is excellent at putting text and pics into the house style of the Bulletin. I've also made a pattern for a back for a Portadyne Princess which I'm restoring, and luckily, I can use the jig that I made for the Wartime Civilian Receiver, suitably adapted.

We're away from home so often, and have so many other demands on our time that I seem to get less and less time to be as involved in restoration as I would wish to be. I think it's a familiar tale in retirement - I've been retired 18 years this year, and am in danger of growing into one of those insufferable old buffers sporting their Saga suntans, wittering on about how 'they don't know how they found time to go to work'. It engenders an overwhelming urge in me to want to deck them
