Good afternoon, Arran.
Thank you very much for your reply, comments, and explanations.
I have to admit I’m a bit confused.
I decided to buy this unit because I liked the cabinet.
But the electronic restoration work is much more extensive than I thought it would be.
I’ve read the posts on Ron’s blog (R.I.P.). Maybe I’ll follow his instructions.
Thank you all very much again.
Greetings from Spain.
