The RT1 is now refitted to it's cabinet, which I had cleaned earlier. A replacement handle, albeit Black, is now fitted in place of the broken ends of the original Green one. The only things to be sorted now, are the holes in the back cover, where someone had fitted a Car Aerial Socket and an extension speaker one, the latter simply wired in parallel with the internal speaker, plus the fact that the wooen strip on the inside of the back cover to which the hinge is attached is split to the extent that the screwa won't hold. Ideally I'd fit a replacement back cover, but cabinet parts for RT1s must be rarer than 'Hen's Teeth'!! Incidentally, although the RT1 was designed to use a no loger available 6v Battery (PP1 or PP11, IIRC) this one had a PP9 in it when it was brought to be, and seems quite happy to run on a 9v supply without any modification.
