    Hi fellas. Lay last year my lanterns had a great fall. Detested but I have systematically restored each one to the same or if not better, it’s about preservation.
    I bought custom made globes for my 2 SDR and my Rijkswaterstaat.
    My Rijkswaterstaat looks the part,

    I also got the confidence up to repair resolver the pump collar to the tank,
    I thought about re painting but then it looks cool with it’s characteristic.
    Very happy with my fettle skills
    Thanks fellas

    Well done Daryl, I've resolderec pump tubes before but your soldering is tidier than mine.
