Sad looking RCA T6-1 - NostalgiaRadioTime - 09-29-2018

I picked up this 1935 RCA tombstone at the last WARCI meet on September 16. It was only $20 so I figured what the heck, I'll give it a shot. Once I was able to get the radio playing again after a complete recap, some resistor replacements and two tubes, I knew I had to tackle the cabinet. Needless to say, it was a real veneer replacement challenge, but all in all I think it turned out fairly well. Far from perfect but a whole lot better than it was. Icon_thumbup
