Well my years of searching came to an end just before Easter

I finally got hold of the correct ATU (Ariel tuning Unit) for the C13 HF radio set in the back of the AWFFR.

As delivered and unwrapped, pretty much NOS and never used

And fitted in place

I also took the chance to fit an amplifier to enable use of the loud speaker now I had the space freed from removing the incorrect ATU.
When I went to try it all it did was blow the fuse

wasn't until the next day when I took a closer look at it and found out why!
I'm lead to believe that the 12v ones are a bit rare! luckily I brought another one with some cables etc a while ago but more more scruffy, hence why I fitted the first one, so when the new fuses arrive I'll be able to test this one.

Today with the weather being so nice I thought it'd be good to give the springs a bit of a work out on some of the local lanes.
