Well, I received my "Mystery Control" from the gent on e-bay, just as described. Beautiful shape inside- I don't think it was ever opened! The warranty sticker was still on the bottom. Great condition inside, and the original battery still in place. Even the rubber covered wiring is not in the least deteriorated!

However, the bakelite disk for the dial on top has warped. Is it possible to heat and flatten the disk, or should I just file the dragging sections a little, or shim it out?

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
