AndreG. Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Have these always been decorator style Heresies, or have the grilles been omitted during the refurb? Nice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 From the looks of that rebuild I don't think they're going any place too soon so it's all good imo. His boxes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
