I got a few cables today. The ground strap looks like the short one to ground the set. The cable is 44" long and could be an aerial lead but I'm not sure. I have a couple more of them coming so I'll save one for the aerial and use the other two to make up some battery leads. 44" should make it from the aerial condenser on top of the set to the aerial. For battery leads I'd run them down the charging panel mounts and splice them to new wire where they are out of site. Maybe I could rough the new stuff up a bit to look the part.
Those brass thumb nuts look about right except for the colour.
I'm going to have to make another case with 4 inch sides and put the panel mounts farther down in the case. The hardware on the terminals stacks to over 3/4" and the doors will hit them. I'm still wondering about a plastic panel.
It's a learning experience I guess!!!!!
