I have spoken to Sid and he's not got anything that's "right"... he's got stuff "of the period", but not exactly what I'm after.
The A22 I have is black and in virgin condition (mostly) with the exception of the speaker cloth - looks pretty original - David Taylor has had a look at the photos and thinks it's a good 'un. Tiny bit of damage to the Bakelite but otherwise clean.
I don't want to replace the cloth with just something that's right for the period - the A22 cloth was very specific , not to mention rather pretty, and if I can get a decent copy done, I'll go for that - its a handsome bit of kit and deserves it ! The price I've been quoted wouldn't be worth doing on almost any other radio, but for an A22?
No intention of touching the insides yet - not even powered it up - doing my reading ATM - Various copies of The Bulletin, service sheets (Trader, Ekco & ERT etc.) plus anything else I can find.
I have... yes... you've guessed it... a DAC 90A rebuild to do first - that will take a while as its a "ground up" job - not one for the purists. Also a PAM TR27 in the queue (another transformer rewind), a couple of pantry xmtrs and a small Fergusson portable... Oh, and a bunch of stuff for SWMBO.
