39-7: The Saga continues
#23

OK. Here it is, warts and all. I've all but finished it, I need now to find some small screws or nails to reattach the trim where the station tabs go. Tonight, I'm going to make some new station tabs, printed on photo paper.

This first pic is with flash. It really shows up the flaws in the application of the veneer.

   

The second is without flash. The radio looks better in this one. I guess all in all, I guess it doesn't look all that bad. It's for sure better than it was when I bought it. Lots of electronic restoration; replacing or recovering crumbled rubber coated wires, recapping, replacing rubber grommets, replacing antenna coil, two tubes. Replacing dial string, realigning. Lots of fun.

Cabinet work was: Stripping off what was left of the old veneer, regluing the cabinet, replacing and regluing the "bones" that form the curved corners, replacing the grill cloth, applying the new veneer, reattaching trim pieces, etc.
