Essentially, you are there with your list. Bear in mind the cables in no 2 and 3 of your list are a bunch of wires running in existing steel conduit rather than flex cables as with the others.

I may well scrub the phone idea - no need to be more complicated than necessary!

Only really considered it because I have what I think may be one of the phones (this being a microphone with headset earpiece added at the other end).

Noted for the conduit - thanks - I was aware of some running over the turret basket floor by the gunner's feet - I have that on the remains of the turret basket, but not from the slip rings to the Hull terminal box.

Cheers
