That is such a cool thing! The wine rack idea is a good one too. Would look good with some led lighting at the back/bottom, battery powered with one of the levers turning it on/off - easy enough to do.

Looks like it is in brilliant condition. Where is a good place to start looking for stuff like this at a reasonable price?
Still undecided - I don't think I can rush into it - need to keep it out to consider different options!

Keep an eye on the following website; new items added every week.

I'm an ex aircraft engineer and I appreciate the design and effort that goes into these parts and also have thought about bringing them into the home. I have a Fiesler Storch landing light that I have mounted to an old camera tripod and use as a reading lamp by the Chesterfield wingback. I'm really proud of it.
