ElAZ 25A disassembled

[F0031]

I have succeeded in unscrewing the bolts of my ElAZ 25A, and here is the result. Only 3 trembler switches in this fuze (25B has 4). The first picture shows all that's left of the original plunger springs. The bolts were cleaned with Hammerite. The 3 small bits of plastic got broken off the switch block (possibly by expanding rust from the tops of the bolts). They have been superglued back to where they belong. Well preserved, I think, after 70 years of neglect.

I've had it since January (DEPOTMAN might recognise it!). I dribbled Rust-Buster into the screw tops, forgot about it for 2 months, then carefully attacked it with a screwdriver.
