More work today (eventually) on the back. Some of my available time was absorbed in repairing a chair for Mrs H, making her happy.

I am now thinking of rebranding this part of the radio "The Philco Effort Absorbing Screen" as it continues to be slow going. Working with a hole saw depletes my drill battery rather quickly, and it is slow going with the hardboard. Slower still, as it is often hard to remove the disc from the centre of the tool. I have now figured out a method to stop that from happening. Not completed today, but I am at least over halfway with the drilling. I might display the radio facing the wall for a while to admire the time-consuming handiwork on this, and the chassis!

Cheers

Ed
