Hi Peter, I just beat you to posting (this time ;)) but I'm in awe of the high quality of your 'restore'. I have no idea how you were able to do that! You also got more information from the original than I managed to get. I was happy to get a version in which I could deduce most of the words. Your 'restore' is 'readable' by everyone. Congrats.,

Mike

Thanks, Mike.
I worked out what most of the words were, did a bit of research to fill the gaps, then put a white mask over it and gradually removed the mask to reveal just the "proper" words. Hope this makes sense.
