Amazing how it works after 32 years with just a bit of a clean and tune.

I've a Harvard H-404 which matches the Royce almost exactly - I'll get them together soon. The channel display in the bottom rig is actually blue, but it shows up red in the photo - maybe the rig is evil :o

Cheers

The Royce and the matching H-404 will stay cosmetically stock for sure.

I had a Convoy 1 - a sticker on the back said "Supplied by Domicrest Fancy Goods" - funny how I can remember that, and not a lot else!

Cheers

It came from a eBay seller in Germantown, Tennessee back last Summer - it said it came from a farmer who fished the Mississippi river.

Took some cleaning up, but it works well and looks really good now. It'll be back out when the skip starts rolling-in.

Cheers.
