Yes I did some air brush shading on cabinet, that will give it an antique look even though its has bran new finish, and I added some recent pictures showing cabinet and parts with 2 coats of sanding sealer, these will be sanded again using 600 or so grit sandpaper dry. then I will be ready for the top coats of clear, 6 coats should be enough, and im thinking of doing piano high gloss finish since this was a high end set , maybe just the top and rest a semi gloss, what do you guys think, high gloss and buffed or semi gloss ? This zenith will look like when finished as if you had it delivered to your house back in 1929. It is an antique radio still even with new finish, just the finish is new, done correctly you cant lose . That finish should look factory or better than factory. It will look like a new antique radio.
