I have repaired the grill on the Kadette so far.

I finishd the horrible job someone did trying to strip the speaker.

Last, I had to strip Nasty! poly off the Emerson.

I need a new spring for one side of the handle too. Might have to make one.

Fast! Speaker shows promise!

People who use polyurethane on radios should be chemically castrated or legally forbidden to have children. Though this would not work as most of them are in their 60s.
OK, castration then. With a rusty spoon. And then to be placed in stocks in the middle of a large swapmeet with polyuretaned radio next to him. People should throw old rubber wiring, rats nests and empty polyurethane cans in the offender. Large scarlet letter P should be emblazoned on a sign near him, and then he should wear it for the period no less than 2 months.

I dont think a wood speaker will mesh with the Metal radio. There was one on ebay but is sold too high. I needed it to copy the back since mine is missing.

Too windy to do any toning today.

Kirk;
I have an example of that same model of Kadette you are working on, the knobs are correct on your set but the dial pointer is wrong. I seem to remember the one in mine being white and thin like a needle, possibly with a crescent moon on the end. It's another set on my bottomless pile of sets to restore, and it, like yours, needs the celluloid lens over the dial replaced, it's fogged up due to hairline cracks. It's an interesting set electrically too, it has a pair of #43 output tubes connected in parallel, plates and grids tied together, filaments are in series, and I think it has two glass ballast tubes.
Regards
Arran
