Looking good.....nice score on the NOS H1E Tins......shame you couldn't get a matching tailpiece. Thought I saw one on ebay a while ago.
At about the same stage with my H2C resto.......Trent

thanks to all progress is being stiffled by my boss quiting and me having to hold the fort while they look for another keen jugler.
the upside is more programing seat time and a glimpse into the office politics, downside running the day to day(spend most of the day putting out fires) and the office politics.
cheers mark
