Hi Carl, it was satisfying to go through what was a piece of monkied about crap and turn it into a nice looking set.
Every thing I do is an adventure, trying stuff like the water base rattle can paint.
It was also interesting how the more I put the set back to how HMV designed it, the better it worked!
Cheers, Fred.

Hi Ian, I guess the 6CL6 was just a "close enough" replacement by somebody?
Or maybe there was a shortage of 6M5's in the store and they did a batch with 6CL6's?
Fred.
