    Hi fellas. I have bought my 505 back to life, it did suffer a tragic fall of about 3m , smashed my globe bent the frame , tank and generator, I’ve worked on straightening the frame as best as I could, I straighten out the generator as best as I could, I used the expanding ice insider the font 3 goes at it to get it better than it was but couldn’t get all the crease out, it’s ok, I got a reproduction globe I’m going to etch the Ditmar logo to it when I work out how. I have reassembled it test run and is all good, dunk test etc. I’m happy with my efforts to bring it back into service, C862C42E-350B-4E1F-8954-ABAA8F64BFAE.jpeg C6222273-71FA-4C10-9A42-6FCF1CADE57A.jpeg B2C44D24-CFBF-450D-9C7F-6B8E07DB2862.jpeg E73E1986-6370-47F7-AE25-3CA4002F5912.jpeg 200C48F2-AB23-492D-928A-643356798781.jpeg 56E5438D-2C06-4543-B3E0-F6D81434E720.jpeg 2BA543CF-BE47-4B82-9B0B-B894B3C863F7.jpeg
    I was devastated when it fell to the ground but I’m happier now
