Same Vic O, just a new thread

I hope the webmaster does not mind that I started a new thread. If so, I will fix at his command.

I had planned to put the back bracket on after Christmas sometime, but today I had the house to myself. So fire when ready, Gridley. Many thanks go to Larry and his photographs, and to Bill (rizbone) for supplying the bracket screws. They do indeed pierce the backboard. Three photos follow. It might not seem much of a change from when I first got the decrepit machine, but the badly and multiply fractured backboard has been replaced, the motor has been cleaned and now winds and runs (noisily) with the new ratchet wheel supplied by George Vollema, and the bracket is now attached properly (no inside angle braces) with the correct period screws.The horn right now is held on by duct tape. And the "escutcheon" in there now is solidly in there; I will need to study the problem before removing it.

Far from done, but moving along.
