Thanks Tony, it took around a month to restore and it is playing great. I'm glad too that the cabinet is in excellent shape as I always get radios with some kind of cabinet damage---I'll be stripping and refinishing my 37-116 cabinet in a few weeks so that will be my next project.  I have attached pics of the radio I took today--haven't had time to move it to my other radio room yet. I was watching your restoration of your 38-690 and you did an outstanding job especially on the cabinet--the 38-690 is the next radio on my wish list.   Ken
