I got a bit more done tonight. It is so hard trying to juggle a big family, extended family, friends, work etc etc and have enough time in a day to keep going on this old thing.
The real shame is that when it is finished, I have to give it back to Ron....I want one of my own now!!! Maybe I should have made two of everything.....
I guess, this has been pretty valuable, learning all these old techniques and building a working instrument from next to nothing. It will be all the easier next time when I design and build my own one later, using modern and more off the shelf stuff. I can make it however I want then! Yet another project after the new shed, the robot, the 2 metre model of the enterprise and the space shuttle...and on and on and on....
Baz.
