I've got what's left of the antenna in the car (BTW how many sections should it have?) so that when I go to flea markets etc I don't forget it at home.
I've attached a pic of the beading at the corners which I think looks particularly bad.
I'll wait until it gets warmer before stretching the beading and evosticking it.
Cheers

Mike the problem with the beading on the corners seems to be a common one, even some of the restored sets appearing on Ebay seem to exhibit it. I wonder if careful application of a hot air gun (or more gently a hair dryer) would soften it sufficiently to allow it to follow the corners again?
As an aside, on the subject of Ebay I have noticed unrestored sets being listed at prices close to that asked for restored sets. Being new to the world of Hacker I wonder if this is a taste of things to come?
Regards, John.
