Hi All,
These all appear to suffer with stress cracks and these are much more noticable on ivory (white) sets that or on the brown or black (as you cannot see them). If they show, they add to the character of the set - after nearly 60 years its not suprising that the case is showing a bit of age.
Wait 'til a post up the work on an ivory (and this does look white rather than ivory) DAC90 set that i have which has quite a few stress cracks.
As Josh indicated these are quite nice sets to work on with not too much fiddly parts which as he indicated makes these good sets for novices (like me!) to work on.
Yes, keep the waxies as the wax can be useful for adding to screw heads as a 'temp' adhesive (thanks for the tip on this one Josh!)
Regards
Rob
