Thanks. I expect it will be one heck of a long project! Could be a while before I start too as I want to restore some other sets first (15DX parts have been ordered!)

There is one thing I have taken care of though. That's the mismatched knobs. Somehow the fine and magnetic tuning knobs were switched and the volume knob is totally wrong.

That's better Icon_smile
