cheers Mark. It's only 18 volts battery power - no danger at all.

Wow, awsome sound!!!  But I noticed it made me nervous watching you poke around the innards with your fingers, even with the power off!  I don't think things electical are my strong suit.  Oh, and the Hacker name is brill too.  I've been well entertained by your vid, thanks for posting Smojo :0)

Looks and sounds tremendous. Lovely period appearance and lots of character to the tone.

Thanks for great comments everyone. Yeah I'm really pleased with this one. Got another (black) in the same job lot but unfortunately the audio amp module is missing. Best i can do is install a modern amp module but it won't sound as good. The speakers in these are Goodmans which were pretty good.
