As things are looking a little more optimistic for this set now, i will eventually re-cap the whole thing. I don't want to just go at it like a bull in a china shop and spoil the originality. The set condition is quite good with no evidence of it ever been played with, all components looking original. As i said in a previous post i cleaned up the lopt etc, and so far have bodged in a few caps (taken from old color crt tv's) here and there to get this far. I was wondering what the wax on those old caps melting point was ? and could i dip new yellow polyprop caps in melted wax to get a similar look ? or would it just melt when the set warmed up making a bloody mess.
