It looks really nice so far. As far as working for free... I have restored a few radios that I had really no intention of keeping, and I knew they would not sell for much more than I paid, but I did it just for the challenge, and as a pass-time.
But also, in some way, as a service to the radio it self, and to the hobby. I know that someone will look at and maybe listen (if there are any stations left) to the radio long after I have passed away.
You are preserving a little piece of history my friend. And doing a great job.
