Dear Radiofriends,
I've here one British Alba 472 in restoring process. As you can see, the cabinet is damaged. It is unglued and wormy, so I had to replace some wood. Fortunately that task is over. I'll show you the results in my next article.
But, some parts are missing. I had to invent the two feet based in an old prospect image.
But the picture is so dark that I couldn't see its knobs.

Well, the problem are the knobs (three buttons).
Do you now how those buttons are like?



Thank You for your attention
Regards
Mário Coelho
