Truetone D-2103A Bakelite Repair
#1

Ok folks, I have a fun one for you. Now that I’ve wrapped up my 40-180 project, moving on to attempt to fix up a Truetone D-2103A that belongs to my mother in law and was her family’s radio when she was a little kid. Anyway, chassis is in really good shape, but the cabinet needs a lot of love. Aside from figuring out how to clean up a terrible paint job, I’ve got a huge chunk of the case missing that I need to try to do something with if I can.

Any of you had much luck with such a repair?  I thought about building a backing with resin and fiberglass cloth and then filling the cavity with resin, but curious what’s worked best for you all.

Thanks in advance!
