BBC MCR21 restoration project update

Post by G8GQS » Sun Aug 08, 2021 6:44 pm

Hi all

Many of you will have been following the work to restore MCR21, Mobile Control Room #21, back to its 1963 condition.

The outside of ’21 in almost done, the main items are the front and rear bumpers, these should be back from being re-chromed soon.

Work on the inside is slow, but we are concentrating on the monitor stack, the metal frame work is well under way and the wooden facia has been started. One pleasing step forward was the re-installation of the refurbished mains input panel.
