Restoration Page | ||
Why is it that as we age we get more interested in the things of our youth? My interest in restoring old communication equipment is a relatively new interest. I have always enjoyed the challenge of getting electronic equipment working, but now I just love tearing into an old chassis and breathing a little new life into an old set. Along the way I have met some challenges, like broken dial glass that there is no replacement for, cabinet finishes that need work, and the assorted missing knobs and hardware that is impossible to replace. But there is a satisfaction in meeting these challenges and finding solutions. Over time I will publish several pages that will show some of this work. | ||
