    That was a very interesting read.

    My Dad has a Purcell "New Visby" in excellent unrestored condition, but I've never been able to find much information on it for the time when a restoration does become necessary.

    Cheers,... Jon.

    The Trove website is a little easier to read as you can magnify the text.
    Helpful to my older eyes.
