Looks great sachin. Very good DIY by Raghunadh. Take care, these must be carrying high voltages inside.

Though I spoke to Raghunath to sample his restored Dynaco ST70, I had to skip meeting him due to paucity of time and the distance involved which is about 40 odd kms one way.

I'm sure it must be sounding divine Sachin. Enjoy.
