It will never be perfect - or original - but I feel this has turned out well. The damage to this area was something that almost saw me walk away (but of course I couldn't in the end) and so it becomes a challenge. Then again, I have a hard time seeing 80+ year old wonders like this meet their doom.
On the electronics front, things are lining up nicely. There is a full set of valves, and a plug matching the speaker socket arrived at the end of last week. From there I can make up the cable harness. Recapping will be relatively straightforward - The chassis is uncluttered, and quite an economy of components was managed by the designers. I'm thinking perhaps to restuff the paper caps, as there are relatively few to deal with. A closer look is needed to see if any are replacements. The big cans will be restuffed. From pictures, these also ought to have cardboard sleeves, so I'll have to make something to match. Looking forward to the next phase.

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
