Good to hear from you Chris.
Re interchangeability of wire wheel knock-offs, the ones Moss sells now
are marked "MG" and the infamous "Undo" and appropriate arrow. The ones
on my PA say "Rudge Whitworth". Did someone change mine in years gone by,
or were there different ones used on some PAs? My door latches are also
a slightly different shape from the T-series ones. Comments?

P-type originality discussion!)
