40-180 Restoration First Steps Question
#10

Hi Tfonzart.
Please check your email. I didn't have a way to send you my tutorial on how to easily rebuild those Bakelite blocks. No mystery or worry about it being so difficult or some black magic art. Icon_smile No mess no fuss and after doing a couple you can do them in 3-4 minutes each.

 I'll try and attach it here.  I may have uploaded it here before years ago, in a 'files' section on the site.

 If anyone has any questions please give me a shout.

BTW, the very first console I bought when I seriously got into radios was the venerable 40-180. Still have it and 2 other unrestored ones in storage.
        ERROR Attachment is too large to upload. I'll look for another way.
Take care everyone!
Gary Maker. (Rabbitt)
