Giacomo Welcome to our hobby. There are many experts here that might offer top advice, but I have a few pointers that you can consider in the...

Thank you Tony, your efforts are much appreciated. I would love to set my hands on one of these stately doughnut lamps one day.

Good Day Cesar Welcome to the forum. I do not wish to discourage you, but perhaps I can save you some money and disappointment. I suspect spares...
