Nice restoration job, intresting to see how the tubes fit together.
 
Will you try and recreate the labels, not sure if the marked labels are some form of sticky adhesive tape.

Thanks for the interest BMG,
Here is where Im at now. Fuze support made and inserted and had a company make the tape. The yellow Color is off just a bit but looks great.
