You may think this has nothing to do with vintage radio.
However repairing anything using very basic techniques is just part of working with vintage equipment.
Fixing things like this gives one a "can do" attitude.

"If a man made it, a man can fix it".
If that statement was not made by someone else, you can attribute it to me!

Occasionally I try some "impossible" thing but get there because I have done something similar before.
I often say I hit things with a hammer until they look like what I imagine they should be.
This is a far better attitude than just giving up.

Look at some of my radio builds, not having a chassis or a cabinet is no great problem, just make one!
Ok there are some things you cannot do like making your own valves, but at least you can list the things you can do and then understand why you cannot others (I must give that a go, Edison look out!).

In the meantime, see how I got around the "impossibility" of fixing a broken Stonewear casserole pot.
Hint, I used a simple work around.


Cheers, Fred.

This one is definitely an original!

Looks good, unlikely to end up with dinner down your front!

Full marks as usual Fred!
