Rehabilitating a Cardboard Back
#13

You’re right--it doesn’t look like the original.  If I find the right material someday, then I’ll probably make a new back.  I hadn’t thought about the effect the back has on the sound.  Other than the safety issues, I actually preferred backless radios because you could see some of inside work.  


For this Farnsworth I had no example to follow, so I made a compromise.  Not authentic at all, but it’s safe and you can look at the chassis (if you don’t mount the built-in loop antenna).
