Wireless Set No. 52 Canadian - Project

While I think of it.

If anyone has an Aerial Base C2 with a surviving, original Brown Phenolic plate still fitted, can you tell me if the edges of the plate are lacquered the same colour as the two sides, or are the edges just the exposed, lighter interior plate colour?

Sometimes it pays to look closer to home.

I was reorganizing my work desk this morning and suddenly noticed what I thought was a large block of cork sitting under some stuff I had placed there quite some time ago. Upon closer examination, I discovered it was a package of 1/16-inch cork sheets, 11-3/8 inch x 17-3/8 inch in size that Debbie had purchased about three years for a crafting project she had worked on for our oldest granddaughter. Son of a Gun!

This is exactly the material I needed to find to make the gasket that runs around the lower edges of the 1/4-inch Brown Phenolic Resin Plate used to insulate the Aerial Base C2 from whatever vehicle it is mounted upon. I checked with Debbie and she said to fill my boots as she did not need it any more. I will check to see my Cricut Maker can cut that cork sheet and with any luck will be able to write a patten program to make the needed gasket.
