Astor KK Radiogram Restoration Part 3 Final
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- This is the final video in the series, the turntable needs some final tinkering and the cabinet has to be stripped and refinished. It all comes together in the end, I hope all that work has paid off. The sticker I used on the door has a spelling mistake, I was using it as a dummy run but affixed it by mistake, I have replaced it with the correct sticker.

Fantastic work David... Two Thumbs up!
Thanks Paul 👍👍😀
That's truly the gold medal!
@Maharajji NKB Thank you, although I wouldn't put myself in the same league as Mr Carlson 🙂
You’ve got to hand it to Astor. Who would have thought to include a self for the mice to sit on whilst eating the radio? Superb job David, you should be very proud of this one.
Thank you Graham. Astor were very considerate to our rodent friends 🐭🐭🐭
🙃
When it was left out I thought David had done that on purpose to not give any more rodents a place to sit while eating it up in the future. Amazing that they want to eat it.
This is what collectors mean when they talk about 'Museum - Quality' - condition and performance as close as possible to the day it was made. A big thumbs up David. Outstanding work. thank you.
Thank you berniestep 👍🙂
And again the magic word is: commitment. You really go all the way, change something again when you think it could be better than what it was. I so enjoy to watch your videos, David. Thank you.
Thanks again Jan, I'm so happy you enjoy my channel 👍🙂
Patience and perseverance can be rewarding virtues. You are an excellent role model for your grandchildren. Well done, sir.
Thanks Mark, I hope so 😀
Theatre in a box. Fabulous. Trash to Treasure! What a great project. The cabinet looks fantastic.
Thanks Tim. It's a fun unit to use too 🙂
Another Great restoration David . You are a very good problem solver, things that would stop the average person you walk through quickly . Looking forward to watching more of your channel .
Thanks Mr.tinkertrain, I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Ladies and gentlemans.... a big applause for this restaration.
haha... thanks Peter 👏👏👏😄
superb David, such attention to detail is rare , most impressed
Thank you Paul 🙂
It never ceases to amaze me at the meticulous quality of your work. You are truly a Master Craftsman!
Thank you lakrfan 49 😀
Very beautiful and wonderful, I follow you with passion
It is an invitation to pay attention to the old and what it carries
It is an invitation not to destroy these rare and precious jewels
It is a call to action with mastery, perseverance and challenge
All this and others I have learned from you, wonderful friend
Thank you Seddas, you are very kind 🙂
Now that came up fantastic, I wish I had a third hand sometime, Very funny, hahahaha, thank you for the video David and looking forward to your next...
Hi Melissa, thanks. Many hands make light work but not at night 👻😲
Great video as always David! Your attention to detail is astounding!
Thanks MrPRG 🙂
Beautiful work David. I love the quality of your radio restorations and the little stories, like the flavour of the church pew and the "mouse shelf" explanation, really bring your channel to life.
Haha... thanks drewf64, I'm happy you enjoyed my little 'detours' 👍😉
That's a very beautifull set and worth all the time and effort you put in it. Congrats. The elegant and modern for the period combo tuner/tuntable gives a nice taste of the style of life wealthy people enjoyed back then. It's a true time capsule.
It was pleasure to bring it back from the state it was in Λογος 🙂
It's absolutly gorgeoues. I didn't even know they had this in those days. This is a very important hybrid and your work is impeccable! It's a joy to see in operation. You are full of suprizes!
Thank you Tyrone 👍😃
Superb job as always . I just love that radiogram . Isnt it just the best feeling to bring these things back to life after years of neglect . I always feel it is a trubute to the folks who designed and built these things . They live on through their these items . Every time I switch on one of my old radios it gives me a thrill as I think back to those days that will sadly never return . Almost everything I own is old ... my furniture , car , clocks etc etc . I feel they insulate me from a world that I no longer enjoy , respect or feel part of .
Well done David . Thomas in UK .
Hi Thomas, It is a great feeling to see this back to working condition and so impressed with it's performance. The designers pulled a rabbit out of the hat for this one. I guess as we move on in life we tend to hold on the things that we remember fondly from the old days, I do it and probably most others do it too. It's good to remember old times and old friends and what an honour it was to have enjoyed them. Cheers Thomas, take care 🙂
My favorite part is the aesthetic restoration and she came out of the workshop looking a real pearla !
Thank you Ellesmere 👍🙂
That just looks fantastic. What a transformation David! Who would have thought that dirty worn down mice-eaten wreck would turn into this. Great work!
Thanks Rene, it's a far cry from when I started, cheers 🙂
Excellent repair and restoration work, your attention to detail and problem solving is exemplary, and most impressive .😏👍🇬🇧
Thank you Bruce 🙂
Excellent David. I especially like how you include the inevitable errors and uncertainty that even the best restorers experience. Leaving these in instead of appearing perfect through the magic of editing really helps me when I run into them myself.
Thanks Ian. It's all a process and sometimes it doesn't doesn't work out like it should, you take the good with the bad I guess. Cheers, all the best 🙂
Absolutely love this unit. From the simplicity of the record player to the finish of cabinet. Great job
Thank you Adam, it's one of my favourites 😀
Interesting story sucking on a pew handrail wearing a jumper you couldn't stand. That's what the wood on this cabinet reminds you of Ahh yes Memories. That is a beautiful job and you have done a job anyone even Astor would be proud of David. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you LuckyLarry. I don't want to think of the bacteria on the handrail 😷
Dave great job you have great finishing skills. I love the work you do on wooden cabinet finishing..
You really struck home when you mentioned the woolen sweater your mom made you wear as a child..I was rolling .As a child back in the 50's my mom would make me wear woolen pants in the winter to school..And I remember it was like torture !! To this day I can not take the feel of woolen to my skin....Anyway Dave Im doing a resto on an 60's vintage Short wave radio , I have always said you can learn something new every day or you day is not complete, Take care Dave and be safe thanks for you great videos..
Hi Paul, thank you. I'm with you with wool on skin, makes me shudder to think of it. Woollen pants! what were people thinking. Good luck on your 60s SW radio, sounds like fun 😀
Hi David, the Astor looks absolutely fabulous!!! You took an ugly, beat-up old radio/phono and made it look great! My favorite part was your masterful recreation of the back.
Thanks Super Het. I was lucky I had the old back to use as a template that made it easy 🙂
Really great ! So nice to see an old gem brought back. you are a star mate!
Thanks Phil, it could have so easily ended in the dump 🙂
Hi David. What an amazing gift you have, the effort and the amount of hours you dedicate to bringing your radios back to there former glory is a joy to see and the level of expertise that you have and freely share with us is truly astonishing. Thank you. 🍺🍺👍🏻
Thank you Ian, you are very kind 🍻😀
David, I like how you go out of your way to preserve, or at least reproduce, all of the original stickers, labels, decals, stamps, etc. Some restorers look only to restore and sell, with no real attempt at full restoration -- merely outbid, shotgun repair and flip, as it were.
You, on the other hand, try to preserve as much of the original decals, logos, dial plates, as possible. This is very important to people looking to purchase restored antique radios and who are looking for authenticity in said radios.
I also like the fact that you show pretty much everything you do in a "warts and all" format! Those little things you missed -- such as pinning a wire under a nut or missing a short to a shield -- are the same kinds of "oopsies" all of us have missed now and again.
So thank you for being an honest tech and for making great videos -- and for being a "goofball!" Please keep them coming, and keep giving these forgotten, venerable radios another lease on life. 🙂👍📻
Hi Captain Skywarn, thank you. I'm very happy you enjoy what I do. Yes, I love to bring them back to new if needed or keep them original if that's what's best for the radio. I include the "oopsies" because that's what it's all about, it's part of the process. Goofball!!! I resemble that remark 😉 Thanks again 👍😀
Eagerly anticipated part 3 does not disappoint. Love the finished result. Great set.
Thanks Gary 👍🙂
Beautiful restoration - the cabinet restoration videos are always so satisfying to watch. It's also really nice to see how useful the comments section is to you - you've built up a lovely community on your channel.
Hi Dave, the comments are very helpful even when I'm a bit slow understanding them sometimes. I'm amazed at how nice and helpful folks are on my channel, it's one of the main enjoyments I get from doing these videos 🙂
That riveted bracket on the shelf keeps it from sagging over time. What a great job again. Your remembrance of pew sucking was very funny, too. Thank you for the videos you create.
Thanks Stephen, yes the bracket would do that 👍 The memory of the lemon jumper and the pew was bought back with the smell of sanding the case, crazy 😄
Exemplary restoration, love the twilight zone reference.
Thanks Alan 😄
Nice job on the turntable. Love seeing a radio like that come alive and live again. Thanks for sharing. Take care. 😉
Thank you GaryPooh Sylvester, take care 👍🙂
Fantastic radio loved it .looks great in your home setting david 👍
Thanks Andy, if I can find somewhere 😄
Great restoration! The mice will be happy too. All fresh new capacitors and a clean shelf to have dinner on.
What can I say Hijme, I'm an animal lover 😄 Thank Hijme.
That looks amazing Dave, I don't think it would have mattered if you had left the cabinet with a high shine, it still would have looked good. The plastic dial look fine, ok it is a bit faded, but it makes the radio look authentic. Nice bit of work you did to that Astor. Can't say I have ever seen anything quite like it. Glad you found it and shared its restoration with us. You are an absolute master Dave.
Hi Bob, thank you 👍😀
No words for explaining its beauty......👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
Thanks Manoj, it will look good in my collection 🙂
Simply stunning Dave, such a BEAUTIFUL restoration. It was SO BAD originally, but your patience and attention to detail come shining through. The wood grain in the veneer is gorgeous! The finish is impeccable and I love the back you made. Love your spindle sander too. I had one about 30 years ago, I need to get another. Thank you for a beautiful restoration project, you are truly talented.
Thanks Gregg, we are on the same page restoration wise. I bought the spindle sander for a project years ago. it doesn't get much use but very handy when you need it. Cheers and thanks Gregg 👍🙂
Top of the line workmanship you always do David and a very much pleasure to watch your progress as you restore the gems of radio history ,Fantastic finishing and looking radio ,I could of listen more to that old record , Many thanks as always for sharing your talent with us.
Thanks Dave. The record I think you are referring to is Benny Goodman, the tune is Benny Rides Again, you can listen to it here: ruclips.net/video/vcUDJOp2zc4/видео.html&ab_channel=GreekCallas
@@DavidTipton101 Great golden olddies i just love these ,many thanks.
Love your restorations , you put so much attention in to every detail and the finished product is always amazing . That third hand certainly came in handy and made me laugh, great video.
Thank you Johnathan. Three hands would be beneficial sometimes 😄
Classy job David. Was worth the wait. Magic with the turntable and the overall finish.
Thanks Paul 😀
Well you certainly brought that radiogram back to life in a brilliant way well done David................................................................Berni
Thanks Berni 😀
I get that Christmas morning feeling with every upload from Dave Tipton.
Spot on Mate! I can almost hear violins playing too🤣
Merry Christmas jacronym 🎅😉
Wow David! This has been a real treat. You have two 'T's. Tenacity and Talent...... Thanks!
Thanks John 😄
Hi David. Another old relic brought back to life with your expertise. I've never seen one of these before and it was very interesting watching your progress with it. Getting the cartridge to work was good, as I thought you may have needed to upgrade the audio input to improve the gain. Another enjoyable and entertaining series. Stay safe and well. Cheers Chris.
Hi Chris. thanks. I was thinking the same thing that the cartridge was too weak for the radio, luckily people pointed me in the right direction, it works great now 😀
I'm here, almost 5 am and still awake. I tried to sleep but I felt my blood boiling in my veins so angry at some problems I had around here.
But I just have to thank you for helping me to relax seeing the excellent work you do, it helped a lot to forget what infuriated and calmed me. I can only thank you! Greetings from Brazil!
:D Here it is nearly 2 AM Friday morning, but for my son it is nearly 5AM Friday morning. I am WEST coast U.S. and he is EAST coast U.S. For DAVE who posts the videos, it is nearly 8 PM Friday!
Glad to be of service Carlos, I hope things turn out OK, take care in Brazil 🙂
... and I'm watching the footy 🏉
Beautiful restoration, beautiful presentation, beautiful sounds, thank you!
Thank you Neil, my pleasure 🙂
Always love your work and Aussie humour. Been learning a heap along the way thanks Dave
Thanks Matt, glad to be of assistance 👍😀
That is one beautiful radio record player, you are quite the craftsman👍👌I really enjoy your videos David, thank you for sharing.😆
Thanks Tommy, I appreciate you watching, cheers 😀
Another remarkable restoration! Well done mate, now sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labors.
Thanks Bruce 🍻😀
Masterclass David. We've restored a wonderful piece of equipment.
Thank you 998cooper 👍😀
This is very nice top restaurion. Top classs
Thanks Magomat 67 🙂
Another WONDERFUL restoration Dave! Bravo!
Thank you Jeff 😀
I sometimes go back to masterpieces like this, man what a result.
That was a big project Manny, it still looks good next to me at my desk and it still works 😄 Thank you.
@@DavidTipton101 I'm from the Netherlands and we've mostly got philips type radios, like the one you restored called B4X23, that kind of radio seems to plain to me compared to for example this astor or the beehive.
Edit: I meant to say that the old and interesting types arent found a lot here, which is a shame because I am all for exotic looking devices from the 40's. I know nothing of repairing these things, I can barely wire up an electrical socket myself :)
@@Jerbod2 I like unique designs and designs from other countries too, I don't do many household Aussie radios these days
I've just discovered your channel, I can't tell you enough what a pleasure it's been to watch. Thank you.
Thank you Marc and welcome. It's my pleasure 🙂
When your thumbnail comes up, it always elicits some genuine reaction from me. Today's: "Hot Dog!"
Excellent work all around, this whole series. From the tubes and capacitors and stuff I don't really understand, to the woodwork I do understand. Bee-Yooo-Ti-Full (Think: Dean Martin.)
Thanks Steven. I thought of Jackie Gleeson but he said "howsweetitis" Dean Martin's was a song of a similar name... 'beautiful' not 'howsweetitis' 😀
A great three-part series. You inspire me to keep going. Thank you!
Thanks Joseph, this one was brought back from the brink but it was worth all the effort, it's a great unit I use to play my 78s on 🙂
Great job as always. I’m glad to see those feet found a good home.
Hi Ripley, thank you and thank you for the feet, I knew where they were going when I originally opened the packet 😀
Awesome job as always, but feeling fresh and fun as day one. Wish You many fine accomplishments like this.
Thank you TheBishopFury 😀
Another GREAT job. You have mad restoration skills. I enjoy each restoration you do.
Thanks Graham, I hope mad=good 😄
As always, an excellent job done on the Astor, it certainly deserved your restoration skills!
Thank you markpirateuk 👍🙂
At least as good as new, a beautiful set! Amazing work.
Thank you W Rex 😀
This is one of your finest work, I made my girlfriend watch a few episodes, now she's hooked. The way you finish things into the finest details without cutting corners (maybe literally) really is amazing.
Thanks Manny, a bit rough making you girlfriend watch them though 😂 Cheers and thanks 😉
Yet again you have smashed it into outer space, it looks fantastic.
Thanks Shayne ☄🙂
What can I say I have not already said. Beautiful workmanship.
Thanks Terry 😀
Another Triumph David!!! Beautiful piece. Jerry
Thanks Jerry 👍🙂
Gosh I really enjoyed this "mini-series"! It is a testament to your patience and ingenuity, it really is! It does, however, leave me feeling a little melancholy as well. When I was growing up Astor/EIA were still in operation in Clayton (For international readers this is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria). I visited the factory as a little kid because my cousin was working there. It was huge! You could have parked three jumbo jets in the place! They made everything from whitegoods to tvs and they had a recording studio and record pressing plant there as well. They also made equipment for various defence services around the world. The quality coming out of the Astor factory was world class. Now it is all gone. The factory was levelled years ago to turn into a housing estate. Australia still makes some world class electronics (GME/Kingray comes to mind) but not the mass-market consumer products it once made in abundance. All that skill...all that design brilliance gone forever...a legacy of globalisation. Sure, globalisation has given us cheap products but at a huge cost in terms of loss of employment and the ability to build things from scratch. The Covid crisis has served to show the folly of this in terms of relying on one supply chain and one supplier. Maybe, just maybe things will diversify from now on...who knows. As usual, David, a brilliant video which I thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you!
I remember Astor made everything from washing machines, fridges to radio and TVs. It all got wiped out within months when the government lifted tariffs in 73, it was sad but inevitable. I was surprised during Covid the products we were able to produce so quickly, maybe all is not lost 🙂
Excellent restoration David,the cabinet turned out a real treat,ingenious record mechanism for the time,it also sounds great and looks amazing lit up,I nearly spat my tea out with the three hands part,well funny 😂
Haha... thanks Mick, sorry about your tea 😄 The record player was what I was most interested in and it was good fun working on it, as you say, ingenious 🙂
Dave you have surpassed your self, this was an amazing restoration, Your attention to every little detail is amazing even if it's not seen, and the case as always has come up beautiful thanks for making these amazing videos, best regards to you and your family.
Hi Barry, thank you and all the best to you and family 👍😀
I have a smile everytime i finish watching the last video of a radio, or record player you upload. They look awesome. Keep going!
I'm glad when the video finishes too Ivan 😄 Thanks and cheers 🙂
David... You have to be the most patient and meticulous person I have ever observed in restoration work. I compliment you on this restoration...absolutely fantastic! One observation...Take it for what it is worth. While restoring/finishing wood surfaces, I was severely instructed to never sand across the grain of the wood. This advice came to me in the late 1950's from an excellent shop teacher. We used several coats of wax, with fine steel wool to finish it. I would like to see more on the restoration of a 6 tube SuperHydrodyne Radio including finishing the bakolite case. Thank you for your incredible restorations... BTW, In the US, the government is considering eliminating the AM, analog band in favor of digital. Sure hope not. Thanks again. Ron
HI Mogul Smoke, thank you. I sure hope I didn't sand across the grain in the video 😯 The only time I might is when I am trying to remove a lot of material but then I finish with the grain. I don't have a 6 tube radios at the moment although I just fixing one for a friend 🙂
What a wonderful restoration, absolutely amazing! Walt in Miami
Hi Walt in Miami, thank you 😉🙂
I have no words for your very good work.Very difficult task to restore a old scrap items. I am learning so much by way of your working style A lot of thanks Sir.Awaiting of your next video.
Thank you Rakesh 😀
I enjoy your 3 part series. Great job.👍 Thanks for sharing.👏
Thank you Chris and thank you for watching 👍🙂
You did a beautiful job on this restoration. Anyone would be proud to own it. I hope you and your family have many happy hours on these cold winter evenings, enjoying nostalgic sounds and whilst being mesmerised by the glow of that dial. Stay safe Dave.
Thanks Brian. We are heading into summer but I can wait 6 months 😉🙂
@@DavidTipton101 Sorry mate, i'm forgetting you're on the other side of the planet. You only seem like down the street (apart from the accent, that is).
@@brianwood5220 What accent? 😉
@@DavidTipton101 ausie 😁
@@brianwood5220 😄👍
What's happnin' gate! Splendid. The front looks like a proscenium arch, with the lights and the stage curtains. Benny Goodman and His Orchestra are about to appear.
Hi Stanley, I think that proscenium arch is what they were going for, it look great. I bought a 'new' Billy Daniels 78 record a few days ago and put that through a dozen times, it works beautifully. Thanks Stanley 🙂
Magnifique travail de restauration . Bravo !
" Be Seeing You" 👌
merci beaucoup Numéro 6. te voir 😊
DAVID .... I suspect you're not big on the superfluous comments in life so I offer you my apologies before I comment , SIR I am in awe of you and your skillset and quite literally your care and commitment to yesteryears instruments of joy , purveyors of knowledge and sometimes messengers of war and upheaval .Many of us forget the position of importance in households that radios and radiogrammes had informing the nation of losses or gains in theatres of war where familes had loved ones battling in intolerable conditions as a family gathered around eager for even the slightest of sign that in the fog of war the pendulum had begun to swing the allies way .
I like to think that so many of the earliest sets survives because HOPE for loved ones and flag and country came to us ... as a unit as we huddled around them , those sets with their unique sound imprinted in our minds .
Obviously your repair of pre 1945 sets are rare but any valve sets evoke those memories........
Thank you Mei Chong,. You are absolutely correct about the radio being the centre of media reporting during times of turmoil. I do have a few pre 1940 radios which I did before RUclips but you are right I will see if I can find some for future videos 🙂
@@DavidTipton101 Thaf would be so satisfying for me DAVID ........ heres hoping
This became a very beautiful radio and recordplayer! And you did a great job on it! 🙂
Thank you @gamlemann53 😃
Great finalie Dave. Looking forward to your next adventure Cheers
Thanks Philip 😀
An absolutely brilliant job David. Looks and sounds great. Quite the unique turntable design for it's time. Thank you for sharing. 73 de KB7ICI.... Bill
Thank Bill, it was a lost cause at first but once cleaned up it looked really nice, I throw a 78 in there from time to time and it still works great 🙂
I know it is an older video but I saw the whole series about this radio today. What an amazing result, Dave. When I first saw it I wondered if you would start working on it or not but happily you did and once all the dirt was gone the thing looked so different already. Great videos, thanks.
Thank you De Mus. It was in very poor condition and when I picked it up I was disappointed in it but after a 6 hour round trip I was determined to get it working. The case was sound and most of the parts were there but boy did it stink. I have it next to me at my computer and occasionally slip in a 78 record especially if I have visitors, they are amazed at the slot in record player. Thanks De Mus 👍🙂
You over did yourself on this one! Great job! I cant get over how it looks from the front,It like a little juke box!
Thanks Robert, it's looks really good lit up, nice bit of work by the designers 🙂
Dave, you are truly a master & have my admiration,
Thanks Eugene 😀
Absolute gold....love this.... what a result.
all your hard work has paid off.
Hi Simon, it was worth the effort in the end but I had my doubts at times 😀
Oustanding craftsmanship David. You have the patience of a Saint.. Kudos Sir .. Very much enjoying your channel.. Keep the content coming..
Thanks Nifty Fifty Camping adventures 😀
Brilliant result, really enjoyed the video.
Thank you Ged 👍🙂
Superb job, works as intended, sounds well, looks amazing and you learned something important, don't spend too much time in the workshop late at night!
Haha... yes, I now spend my nights inside where it's safe 😄 Thanks Paul 🙂
Wow! What a transformation Dave. When you showed a photograph of what the radiogram looked like when you first put it onto your bench, and the level of workmanship you put into its restoration, it is definitely ‘et voila!’ It looks brilliant: it performs brilliant, and it sounds brilliant. It is a monumental credit to you my friend.
I know that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, and the Philco model 46-1201 is a superb looking table-top radiogram: for me personally the Astor KK has a slight edge, looks wise, over the Philco. Having said that, I definitely would not turn my nose up at owning either of the two models.
When I saw you applying wood stainer onto the cabinet I immediately began thinking you was about to fall into the same trap I’ve fallen into over the years. I thought the stainer you was applying was far too dark but it turned out to be at the right level: it definitely looks good. Normally I might have said the lustre, and smoothness is more befitting, say, a guitar, or a piece of expensive furniture but it works real well for that radiogram. For my taste, and no doubt for countless other people, you have pitched it at the right level.
I love your sense of humour: it very much creases me up LOL. The reason I love it so much is because it is so dry. It is very similar to that of Uncle Doug, the guitar amplifier restoration engineer.
Thank you for giving me a mention: it is very much appreciated my friend. Best regards from Phil.
Hi Phil, thank you for your very kind comment, I wouldn't mind the Philco version either. The gloss is more than it should be but it still looks good and when on display doesn't stand out as too glossy, I have to find a replacement clear for the top coats with a little less gloss.
I like Uncle Doug too, I would have liked him as an instructor through my career which required a lot of classroom time.
Happy to mention your channel, I enjoy your videos. Thanks Phil, stay safe 🙂
great job always impressed with the detail that you carry out
Thank you Angelo 🙂
Top work! Very impressive! I thought I saw a mysterious blue claw too! Spooky!
Thank you alpcns. it was your imagination 😄
Wow, what a great restoration. Truly inspiring.
Thanks Joe 😀
Good on you, mate! That's an unbelievable transformation. You know, if you do a bit more night work in that shop you just might run across one of those lemon colored sheep.
Haha... that's the last thing I want to see Wayne 😀
I reckon that's your best one yet. Amazing attention to detail. That one would have pride of place in your lounge room I think (wife willing)
Thanks Ian, the wife has already organised it's position in the house 😄
Looks stunning and sounds great, well done. 👍👏
Thanks Bill 👍😀
You did a fantastic job not only with the electronics and mechanical parts but also with the cabinet...
Looks brand new (probably better), congratulations...
Thank you StillCloser 😀
Thank you, David. Your videos never fail to cheer me up. Great work.
My pleasure John, thank you 😀
WOW that's great.
Thank you Reginald 👍🙂
