Repair very carefully 3 green knobs.
I make them heat up, straighten and filing.
Tuning dial was is very bad condition
and I found very good replacement.

You saved a CUBE!! Awesome. Those melted knobs looked funky.

That's great to see! I'm glad I sold this Cube to you, you restored this one really well

Great job Ivo
You should consider the possibility of painting that tuning knob in green like other knobs

Way to think INSIDE THE BOX

Restoration of a CUBE is cool as hell

These seem pretty rare

Looks like you got that cube back to "square" one, nice job on the resto

Thanks for the kind words.
I really like the tuning knob and didn't think to paint it.
I am already at the final stage.
The cube has strap. It is possible to adjust:
When extended to the end, Phillips can be carried on the shoulder.
When retracted, it can be carried with one hand.
On pictures It is in the stowed position.
Coming soon, the demonstration video...

I finally got one of these after a long search, mine turned up at a local car boot. I have the original sealed strap to. Only bad bit is the aerial is missing the little ball thing, shame as its spot on else.
