Hi,
I note you are trying to thin down your collection of radios David but care is needed not to replace one big set with three small sets?
Like many radio restorers sets are bought then stored until they come to the top of the to do list as in this case of your Maestro; its been well worth waiting for though and a nice addition to your restored sets.
I owned one very similar to yours David also finished in tatty blue that one day I planned to fully restore but eventually I sold it with a lot more of my un-restored sets as a job lot but I did retain my fully restored "woody" Maestro which is a very pretty little set and one I won't part with because it was kindly given to me by my late friend Henry Cavnagh. Henry also hated it when his surname was incorrectly spelled so correct spelling added. The story can be viewed here and shows your Maestro before restoration; my woody was a most enjoyable project and still graces our front room on display;

Happiness is a wreck of a cabinet to restore.
