Phosco P156

After the Phosco P152's successful restoration, my attention has now shifted towards this. Acquired a few months later, the P156 came from the Edinburgh area. Unfortunately it didn't survive the previous persons storage, having a shed collapse on top of it, writing the bowl off. It ended up remaining untouched for 4 years until a fellow collectors amazing haul of NOS bowls encouraged me to drag it out of hiding to look it over and fit the bowl to it.

Unfortunately its missing both oddie keys, hinges, and the hinge pins too, its hoped these can be found. In the meantime I will be restoring the lantern as best I can. This'll involve polishing the gear cover, filling the photocell hole in, adding a porcelain terminal block, and a full respray inside with gloss white, and outside with Hammered Silver. Again it should be Hammered metallic Beige, but I can't find that anywhere.
