Ron's RCA T7-5 Cabinet Rescue
#1

(I have moved portions of this thread from my catchall thread Ron's Cabinet Work for the 2018 Season thread since this is not a Philco. The other thread will now concentrate on the Philco cabinets I'm working on.)

As many of you know, I had purchased this RCA Victor T7-5 tombstone at Kutztown in May.

I wrote about the chassis restoration of this set here.

So in July, I decided to attempt to redo the cabinet of this set, along with a few other radio cabinets.

July 29.

I began stripping the cabinet...

I made fair progress on this RCA T7-5. It was painted in the dark areas. (How did I end up with all of these painted cabinets?) Icon_crazy Anyway, the front and the right side are mostly stripped now. The paint on the left and right sides on the top is very stubborn. I have yet to strip the left side.
