Today the leather handles came in.
Or what I hope are leather handles.
Cause I'm not sure.
They came fast, the max promised date was like the beginning of April.
That's the good news.
The handle looks like it does in the picture.
But it smells funny: everyone knows the smell of leather. This one smells like some chemical......or vinyl. The sides do not show layers. I think they are bound by some smooth plastic rim.
The handle certainly is not very thick, 1/4".
It bends more like plastic than like leather.
It wasn't lot of money, so I'm ok with that.
I wrote to the seller, asking him if he is sure this is leather.
It actually will do for a small radio like the 5G500.
I doubt it is strong enough for the full size TO.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
