Hi guys - Its done, the Telerad is finally all back together in its cabinet and is complete!
Phil - My avatar has been a kind of a teaser..
I have to say though its been an interesting project to say the least and it took me a lot longer than I'd expected to finish it and I learned a few things along way as you do with anything like this. The bit I didn't like was not working without a circuit, there's always a degree of uneasiness with something as rare and odd as this, but thank goodness I did have that spare junk chassis and the heap of photos I took to fall back on especially if I'd undone a part of the circuit to replace some components and then left it like that for a week or two!
I also reckon that this Telerad was set number ten that he made as there is a code on the back of both chassis, this one is '1510' and the donor is '1503'.
Thinking back I do recall Alan saying he used a prototype set in his living room for years and that one is the junk chassis as I saw where it came from after it had already been thrown in the skip complete with CRT etc and smashed by someone helping with the clean out at the time before I could stop him!
Now I can sit back and enjoy watching it. There are a few DVDs I've been putting aside just so I can see them on this, so looking forward to doing that with a
Hopefully the set will behave itself, now its back together. The cabinet is really well built and does look nice.
I'm sure if Alan were still alive he'd be tickled pink to see his only remaining set in existence going again.
Thanks for following this thread and should anything else come up in regards to the Telerad I'll post an update. Some final photos for your enjoyment.
Cheers!
