Yep - they were the first place I checked - but they have closed down, at least for the time being. An old haunt of mine.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Im nn ChCh, Musgroves has lots and lots of stuff. If you post pics or PM with pics I'm more than happy to have a look see. Its not far from me, and they have expanded big time.

Many thanks @tdgeek - that's a very kind offer and much appreciated.

Back plate is 53 mm W x 165 mm H.

It doesn't need to be identical - roughly similar size and style would be great.

Cheers

Jacob Demolition 33 creek st , Drury, just off the motorway. I have had several mates doing restores of classic villas who have Found what they are looking for there. One even found a rare period light switch which he had been looking for for years. You have to be prepared to rummage around as they have so much stuff that even the staff don't really kNow what is there

OK - many thanks anyway. I now have something I'm following on TM that would work so I'll see how that goes. Cheers.
