[Radio Fixer]

Yes! for me it was a great day out as well.  Got up early and the M40 was a joy, little traffic, lovely scenery and sunshine.  Good homeward as well,  more traffic of course but not a single holdup.  Become a real fan of cruise control and fluent at using it.  Helps particularly on a long stretch of "Average 50 mph" near home.

Managed to collect all my pre-arranged radios early which helped getting away as I couldn't stay long.  Even did a part swap for a Zenith 7-A-23A  which cleared one at the same time.  I have always wanted a large black dial Zenith although it needs a lot of work but that's OK.  The cabinet needs a new piece of veneer on the small side of the stepped top.

Also thinking for a change as I have too much on of getting it Pro restored ?  Does anyone know someone who is really good; I would hate to pay a lot of money and be disappointed.

Bought nothing from the stalls other than a reel of solder.

Great seeing old friends and having a chat.

Is that silk covered wire £1.25 a metre David?  Wonder how easy it is to strip?  Does the silk run back and fray out and then its melty PVC.  Be hard to persuade me away from the silicon rubber.
