Request for opinions on model 60B restoration
#14

Thank you all for the comments on this post. Feel free to add more if you wish, but this phorum has been great to help me realize how maybe I should have handled the refurbishment of my radio, as well as whettiing my appetite to learn more about these great radios and how I can (and should) learn to do some of this myself. I plan to tackle the grille cloth and alignment of the dial when I read more of this phorum and gain some confidence in diving into the back without damaging anything. Unfortunately, on this one, I think I'll leave well enough alone on the cabinet despite it's lack of authenticity. I'm fortunate here in Boston that we have an AM radio station that plays music from around the time these radios were in their heyday and it's great to hear on something that, mechanically, seems to be working great. Thanks again. Brian
