>> I have a Marconi TF1313 bridge that I'd like to basically get rid of.  I bought it about a year ago and had gone through it with the intent of restoring it.  I cleaned it up and replaced several parts and it worked well on C.  L and R seemed to need some work but had intended to address those.

I had it looking so good and working better than it was so I was pretty heartbroken.  Lots of other equipment on the desk took damage as well.

The lettering is now faded just a bit (mostly due to my attempts to try to clean the stripper residue off).  The major damage is to the plastic dial face.  It is damaged beyond repair.

>> At any rate, my workshop arrangements have changed and I no longer will have a place to work on these things and really need to move this on.  I'll listen to any offers - I just don't want to set it out to the trash.
