Just finished this airline that I got at Sargents auction 2 weeks ago. Looks great. This radio cabinet needed a lot of work. Both sides were replaced including plywood inners and veneer, top veneer and cabinet has been reglued and ball feet  were reglued , inside cabinet has been painted and new speaker board . Solid as a rock, still looking for 1 nob. Recapped and cleaned , plays good.

It looks just grand.

What a beautiful radio ! I would love to see a picture of it in low light and working, so I could see the dial glowing in that beautiful setting.
