Maybe it's the car 🤷🏻
Whatever the cause, Lawson will take some reassurance from this. #BahrainGP

Interesting to see the ß character used in spelling express and necessary. I did not know this was used in the US.

Hello Mikey would you know if there is still a 2nd company Boys Brigade in Gravesend. I found an old note inside a 1944 radio I bought in 2019 from eBay. I'm very curious about the year of the note. Thanks.

For context please see the post on my homepage.

My 1944 wartime civilian radio has had a crudely shaped and painted expanded metal speaker grille added at some stage.
The fabric remnants on the speaker board indicate it should match the museum specimen cloth.
I will have to search for a cloth. That metal can't stay.

This is what the radio looks like.
It has been badly sandpapered and varnished, so the original branding is gone. 😕

Time to start work on the 1944 Civilian War Radio.
The three 8uF HT caps are in a bad state.
Two of them are very old Radiospares caps, unlikely original, and a metal can one from a much later fix.

Well spotted yes they are Geneva stickers.
The wooden case is also smashed apart but that can be easily fixed.

That's interesting I don't know that.

Can anyone suggest a method to repro a #VintageRadio dial glass.
This is from a 1964 Bush VHF81.
Glass was smashed during eBay shipping.
