ANOTHER "save"...

A big Model 38-116XX followed me home from today's Nashville, TN swap meet. It is missing two of the five grille bars, had no escutcheon, wrong grille cloth, and the entire automatic tuning mechanism was gone - in its place was a small vernier dial! Icon_eek

Thanks to "49Stude63," I already had an escutcheon for it. A junk 38-3 chassis back in the "archives" yielded its automatic tuning mechanism. Happened to have a 37-116 dial scale which will fill in the blank, so to speak, for the time being. With the addition of those parts, it already looks better. The cabinet has been stripped; it just needs to be cleaned up and, once I find a solution to the missing grille bars, will be ready for refinishing.

Sorry, gang, still no photos yet...hopefully coming soon...
