Early Pye P123BQ project

[xrhonda91]

Hello All,

I live in the States and have a fairly large collection of mostly early transistor sets that I've refurbished.  Have been fortunate enough to find three from the U.K. within my home State of Indiana.
One is this early Pye P123BQ which I discovered was Pye's 1st and Britain's 2nd following the PAM 710 (built by Pye subsidiary).  Was very excited to refurbish this historic set the best I could, while leaving exterior as original as possible.  It has all it's original Newmarket transistors, but because one of the electrolytic caps had gone resistive after drying out, very carefully removed all intact and replaced with new.  The radio now thankfully works fairly well.  Video link below.

Unfortunately, this radio is missing one early, original handle bracket and am hoping someone might know where I might find a replacement?  Picture below.  Similar rusty condition would be fine as it would be great to have the handle usable and proper looking.

Here is a link to my full project thread at Antique Radios Forum for those interested in details:  https://antiqueradios.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=441128


Thanks!
John
