A Bit More Hutter

Found an old T&B that someone had drilled out the mounting holes too big. Will probably put it in the Hutter. I wrote to Winter to see what a new faceplate would cost and they sent me one for free!! "Sehr nett" of Herr Winter.

Now ready to start stripping the poor old thing back.
