sorry David, Dropbox had changed the link - couldn't upload to the forum last night from my ipad - so now attached it on the laptop and is now in first post.

Robo, no, very very easy - constructed in 3 separate parts, and each element cleaned separately - no flumbs ! - also a very generous deep frame behind the shadow mount to hide any bits that fall down.

turnbuttons on back to allow access to a secret pouch of fomeboard with holes in it that contains sachets of silica gel.

i thought it wasnt a good idea to put silica gel in frames

robo posted a link a while ago to an explanation by hugh phibbs, who was suggesting it could do more damage than good if i remember

Just wondered if you could post a photo from the side and back Graham, to get an idea of the construction.
