It's coming along very nicely, Ron. Excellent work!

Speaking of T7-5's, I'm now faced with having two RCA tombstones both with the same dial and I know I have to part with one to make room for the other. I'm leaning towards letting the T7-5 go. I know performance wise, with the extra tube, a 3 gang tuner verses 2, it's probably a bit better than the T6-1, but strictly from a personal preference standpoint, I kinda like the rounded corners of the T6-1 a bit more than the squared corner style cabinet of the T7-5. I took a pic of them side by side showing the original wheat pattern grille cloth on the T6 and the (now unobtainable) reproduction wheat pattern I got from Bruce on the T7.
