Model 81 Cabinet Restoration
#31

Thanks for all of the feedback, I appreciate it. I'll paint the screw heads.

I reached out to Ken to see if he would sell a smaller piece at a reduced price, but based on what he offered it probably doesn't make sense to buy the smaller piece. $16.50 for 12x12 vs. $20 for 18x24. I am struggling a bit as to whether I want to put another $20 into this radio, since I only need a 1/4 of that grill cloth and may not need the rest ever again.

Any opinions as to whether it makes sense to put another $20 into this radio? I understand that from a purist perspective it will keep it original looking. However, if I ever decide to sell it will it make that much of a difference as to what it is worth?

Thanks, Bill
