Dear Sirs, We refer to your request for extra long pilot lamp leads in place of those normally fitted to our Car Radio tuning control heads. Your order is being proceeded with, but it occurs to us you may have overlooked the fact that the Bowden Cables for the tuning and volume controls should also be of the same extra length. If you have overlooked this, kindly advise us, when the matter will receive our immediate attention. Yours faithfully, FERRANTI LIMITED. Radio Service Department. Advised by phone 7/12/38 | ||
