Finally got this almost done.  

   

What I ended up doing with the decal was only putting one clear coat over the front, before I applied it.  I then put 2 more coats after I applied it.  Definitely right though, Ron, it would've been better if I had just waited.

   

I also managed to do something strange with the speaker cloth, I think I tightened the screws holding the board just a little too much.  I'm hoping if I turn back the screws it'll look a bit better.

Otherwise doesn't seem too bad for a first effort- it went from looking like something you'd throw out, to a beautiful conversation piece.  I did a bit of work on the electronics too, replacing the capacitors, frayed speaker wiring and power cord, but need to get myself a variac before I just plug it in for the first time in probably 50 years.
