*lol* it was no bomb. still alive Smile

i cut the banding. was not really difficult because of the very soft metal.
looks really amazing inside, like a time-machine or the big gravity gyro
from the movie "event horizon" Smile

Hi Peter,
While this item isn't as rare as a Norden Bomb-sight or Enigma Machine, it's still a high quality piece of vintage engineering, so if it was mine, I would keep it free of dust by keeping the cover on it unless you were showing it to someone.
You never know--this might be a museum piece someday! Surprised

actually, glass domes as used to house small stuffed birds, can be found from time to time.
