   Nice job on the cabinet

Thanks Dan, some guys were telling me the escutcheon was polished from factory, after researching a little I don't think it was so I went ahead and darkened it, looks a lot better.

Fred,
Very good! I'm liking that bezel now! What did it you use on it?

Hi Fred

That is an absolutely beautiful job you did on that!!  I have the previous year 1935 T8-14 with the round dial and also the little 1936 5T, both are very sensitive and 2 of my favorite radios!!

Sincerely

Keith Jansen

Looks pretty good ,gives it that patina (aged) look again Icon_eek I thought about hanging it over the ash tray when I smoke , to age the dial cover Icon_think Icon_think Icon_think Icon_think Icon_think Icon_think
