This is a great looking radio and I must say it needed more work than I thought. I purchased it a few weeks ago with the thought of restoring it and reselling on eBay with a (Buy it now or best offer) to see if I could make a paycheck for the week. It's al most finished and just may keep it and try and sell something else, I really love this radio. I had sold 4 radios last week on eBay and was disappointed on the results so next time it will be listed as Buy it now or best offer. I have been working on other radio cabinets for our club members and just finished a few for the walk in customers at shop and thru the other radio forum, also Jim Sargent gave me 4 radio cabinets to restore which also are done , and 4 others that will be given away a this up coming radio convention  so it is picking up a bit for me but still not enough to live on and still looking for full time job.

Wow Fred,
I can imagin the cost to have a pro finish it
Beautiful work.
Wish you were closer.
Have an RCA 281 I'm working on.
Could imagine what you could do with that one.

Hello Murf, I can still do it if you send cabinet only, doesn't cost much being not that heavy, can refinish with about 2 week tune around. I have a number of cabinets that way with no problems, just pack it good.
Hi Fred,
Much as I would like to, the cabinet is very large and would cost a fortune to ship both ways.
Have it stripped and am doing a little sanding.
Can imagine the cost to have a pro finish it would be more than the radio is worth.
Will keep you in mind though if  need help on a tombstone.

I have it stripped and am touching up with some sandpaper.
