I posted the 40AL in the classified section of the Forum about three months ago. When it didn't sell, I decided to restore it rather than dismantle it for parts. Because of rust pitting and other surface deterioration, I completely refinished it. Dennis Hallworth (Decins) recovered the base. He also plated the transmitter bolt. The original surface of the 51AL was in very good condition. I just polished it. I also removed the 2AB dial and replaced it with a 2AE I recently acquired.

very nice.  Is the bottom cover felt or leather?
