Restoration Details - This charger sat on my shelf for about 15 years before finally making the leap to get it restored. THE REASON I delayed was because of the COST and TIME involved in getting it done right AND there was no guarantee that the coil was still good when I was done - IT WAS GOOD! At the same time, I wanted to maintain the original finish and patina which are in excellent shape for such an old garage-type automotive tool.
- The charge cord is a new extra long (over 8 feet) replacement with red and white cloth leads soldered-in. Cotton wrapped at splice and crimped with brass cord protection strap as would have been on original cord. Cord is tipped with brass rod-type tips similar to the original as clips were not on original design (clips with round crimp holes are available that the rods would slip into if you wanted the extra functionality).
- This charger had a non-stock socket jumpered-in with a substitute non-Edison base Tungar bulb. These were removed and the entire works were uninstalled cleaned and reinstalled in the proper OEM configuration. OEM porcelain socket was disassembled, cleaned, all conductor parts cleaned for good clean conductance contact and appearance as well. New slotted mounting bolts used on OEM porcelain socket to replace missing bolts.
- New NOS black cloth power cord with old stock bakelite plug.
- New Cloth insulated Tungar bulb clip lead with original bulb clip.
- Newish GE Tungar Bulb with Edison base and NOS hexagonal glass screw-in fuse.
- Open Circuit Test at 17 VDC. Charge test at 14 VDC 1 amp (this would vary according to battery condition)
NOTE: Tungar bulbs are very resilient to shorted battery Cells.

Audi TTS Limited Edition marks 500,000 TT sales
In some ways the Audi TT seems to have been around for ever, although it was actually launched in 1998 and garnered fame as a bit of a softy aimed at hairdressers and others who valued cosmetics over ability. But the latest Audi TT is a much better car and does offer real performance and real driving fun, especially if you opt for the TT RS. In the fifteen years since the TT launched, Audi has managed to flog 500,000, and to celebrate we’re treated to a new TT limited edition – the Audi TTS Limited Edition – which comes with cosmetic tweaks and as a coupe or roadster.

Clarkson's voiceover for TomTom SatNav cancelled
It seemed like a cracking plan for all concerned to get Jeremy Clarkson to add a voiceover for a TomTom SatNav, particularly with the Top Gear live show rapidly approaching and a million children starting to wonder what on earth they can get dad for Christmas. But it looks like someone has dropped a big clanger as it’s been revealed that getting Jezza to attach his voice – and name – to a TomTom SatNav breaches the BBC’s editorial guidelines. As a non-commercial organisation (although that’s extremely debatable when it comes to BBC Worldwide) the Beeb has to make sure it’s not seen to be promoting any particular products and, more importantly, that its on-air talent aren’t entering in to commercial agreements for products they are associated with.
