but my main man si northerner is going to do it,i thought id sent him a pic but hadnt lol,well i have done now so anytime soon you guys will see the proof
and thanks for all the warming comments,i appreciate it,the 5500 is a lovely machine through and through,one of my all time favourites for sure 
ive cleaned her up now but even minus the blue rope theres little difference im afraid,but,id rather have her than a big mac meal any day of the week,and that would cost the same price

The 5500 is a great looking box!!

.it needs a service soon anyway as the deck runs slightly too slow so when ive done the deck ill turn the handle around and fit two new screws
youre right jimmyjimmy,it is a great looking box,its the one you think of when you think of a classic one piece radio,for sure
