46 FADA completed
#1

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!

Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift

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.
