you can see from this as found pic how rough she started out....dont know why she had all the blue rope on her :hmmm: ive cleaned her up now but even minus the blue rope theres little difference im afraid,but,id rather have her than a big mac meal any day of the week,and that would cost the same price :lol:

Someone has had it apart at some stage in the past as the handle is on backwards with the 2 screws facing forwards.

The 5500 is a great looking box!!
Whoops! :-D

yep,i feared that,youd think theyd have put it back together right lol :bang: .it needs a service soon anyway as the deck runs slightly too slow so when ive done the deck ill turn the handle around and fit two new screws :yes: youre right jimmyjimmy,it is a great looking box,its the one you think of when you think of a classic one piece radio,for sure :thumbsup:
