Johnny Tip Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Your work is really up to the task of honouring the original Thunderbolts... Makes me look at my own N version with a look of "oh well, not too bad, but nowhere close to being RFI material". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Lyttle Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 @Johnny Tip, there's something niggling away at me from your post and I'm not quite sure how to phrase it... I mean, it's always nice to see a bit of gold standard modelling on the forum, that we can aspire to, but that doesn't mean "only" (in my opinion....) Nice to see the triers and learners on here, lessons learnt and efforts made, sometimes against the odds! Nobody is standing in judgement, officially at least. I say, put some up 9 hours ago, Johnny Tip said: "oh well, not too bad, There you go - That's your criterion 😎 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbudde Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Looking fine so far. Nice old radio. Have one old seventies here in a pure orange. Dosen't work anymore as a kitchen radio now, but I would never put that away anyway. So it will stay in my stash here for a further development in another decade of a past century.
