Mystery Pye by Video

[Yorkie]

Thanks David,

Fortunately the rest of the set is in reasonable condition. The dial is almost perfect - just a few bits of paint missing but not in critical areas. The knobs were seized on to the shafts but some coaxing got them off without damage. The chassis works fine (needed new audio output valve). So, once the cab is done I should have a nice radio for the collection - even though I may never find out exactly what model it is!

P.S. I've put a few video clips of the project on YouTube so if you have some time to kill one day just type 'Mystery PYE' in the search field and you should find them.

I've just spent and enjoyable half an hour or so looking at the whole sequence - what a great effort John - I'd no idea that you'd gone to such lengths in making the cabinet from scratch, then cutting out the letters for the logo in mother of pearl and insetting them into that lovely bookmarked rosewood venered top! Neither did I appreciate how much effort and skill has gone into restoring the chassis. Great that it's working, and sounds really good too!

This is what the hobby is all about - so much enjoyment can be derived from taking something that looks unpromising, and 'making a silk purse out of a sow's ear'.

The youtube video clips deserve a much wider audience!
