Its a beauty!
I just did a 37-610 with the same cabinet.
Front was deeply scratched, so I decided to apply a new layer of veneer to cover all that mess up.
Then I decided to experiment with colors as I got the radio for free anyway.
Applied stain to the new front panel, and it looked kind of splotchy.
So, I decided to go with gel stain over the front which is pretty much an ebony color.
Refinished the body in an antique cherry stain and applied finish.
I have to say, it turned out pretty nice looking for an experimental free radio.
Did re-cap and put in new sub-chassis rubber mounts.
Working great on all bands, and looking great too!
Fun to play around with these old timers!
