No32 Souvlaki & On the Subject of Necessity Being the Mother of Invention.....

[Roger Payne]

Well, if anyone can suggest a better way of 'holding' scope tubes when baking on the suncorite in the oven I'm open to it! I get hell off her indoors because of the pong that lingers in the kitchen afterwards.......but some degree of transient odour is probably unavoidable.

Pretty well all of the tatty No32's that came from India have parts missing - some of them lots of parts. The Big Duke helped me with some sorely needed spares but is still in the process of getting his workshop built, so another fellow forummer got me some grat blocks for Mk3 scopes & some clicker plungers made. However, there's always something you never thought of. So, there comes a time when you just have to have a go yourself. I'm quite pleased, although I did have to make four attempts to get two usable clicker plunger retaining screws; the first worked out fine, the second fine, except I got a bit over enthusiastic with the parting off tool & so the screw lies as yet unfound somewhere in the dark recesses of my garage; the third one I got one of the dimensions wrong due to rushing after losing the second; & the fourth.........I also managed to get right.

No doubt I am making many mistakes, but I'm also learning a lot & thoroughly enjoying it.
