It followed me home
#1

I was at peddlers mall and this little radio said "please take me home" but I passed on down the isle, but when I got home there it was in the back seat of the car. Icon_smile It had a price of $4.00 on the tag. I looked it over and found the antenna loop was missing. Oh no now what? So I thought for a while then I picked up this piece of 2x6 and cut it to size that would go inside of the cabinet, then I wound some wire around the cut 2x6, then with some glue make the loop, after it dried I pulled it off the 2x6 and there was a good loop. I connected it to the radio and it did not tune, I removed one winding at a time, when two windings were removed it tuned perfectly. The cabinet cleaned up very good. Execpt how do I get the gold paint in the dial numbers, any comments? Thanks for reading
