[Andrew GIBSON]

Hello frank
I m in australia .. 
My 130’s  have  lost the ability to light up.  I have 4 I think and one 120 .. 
Can have 5. ….I never did strip one down but your guide is great…
So the pics are mysterious until I start…
Tell me how much is needed and where to send / or donate to where indicated ….

Thanks much for posting and sure I can learn some Deutsche too,,,
