I ran an extensive thread on the alternate forum while working on this radio for a year. It is finally completed and though some of you here might like to look at some pictures. I can't take credit for the cabinet work which was done by my friend Ray. The final putting everything together was my friend Mark. I spent most of the year working through the pot metal and getting the chassis to work. The outcome I think is very nice!

Kind comments from such an experienced group are appreciated. As indicated I can only take credit for the chassis that took a LONG time with the pot metal and my slow working. Any interested in the pain on the chassis and have a lot of time on their hands can view the chassis restoration at the link below.
