Little radio set of my father's, that he had with him traveling all over the world while he was in the RAF. It fell silent in the late seventies and was boxed up. I just replaced all the bad pieces (everything turquoise and blue) and got it playing again. Fiddly things though, all tightly packed inside there. Phil

I've been mostly playing with toy cars. And wood. And resin. And LEDs. And sticks, rocks, sawdust, sand and paint. And restoring old tools 20191221_162425 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20191221_162914 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20200202_223556 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20191223_140701 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20191229_173051 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20191229_223205 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20200107_211858 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20200108_163503 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20200124_194047 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20200118_220605 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20200122_131218 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20200128_123920 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20200129_214631 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20200209_224550 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20200216_102815 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20200216_202311 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20200229_225116 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20200407_134030 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20200425_170148 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20200524_173446 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr 20200530_141014 by Nick Liassides, on Flickr

Cheers, good old Ed Bishop, used to love it. Bit off topic but car related, ex Radio 1 DJ, DLT bought the actual car, there is stuff on the web about it, but here a pic for good measure

I'm currently working on this which is a compressor for a set of Maserati air horns that I've had sitting about for years now, finally getting round to making them work! adam73bgtI'm currently trying to repair one of these compressors, I found a ball bearing loose inside it and think I can see it in your photo too. Any idea where it goes? Mine seems to be seized despite taking apart and lubricating.

There were two ball bearings within mine when I took it apart One went in the "cup" at the end of the main shaft that is at the bottom of the compressor body And the other went in this recess further up the shaft to lock the rotor in place to the shaft Hope that helps!

Thanks that's very helpful, hard to find information on these. Now I'll need to find the ball bearing again as it seems to have disappeared! Will need to see if the second one is in there too. I might send you a PM at some point if I can't figure out how to wire it up, don't want to fill up this thread with off topic posts.
