Ron's RCA Victor T8-14
#19

You're making great progress, Ron ! I am enjoying seeing how our techniques vary, yours being more like a museum restoration which attempts to preserve the original look of components as well as completely refurbishing the electronics. I always worry that 50 years from now re-stuffed condensers may fool some later day repair person, so I just replace them and don't disguise my work. Keep up your strength and spirits, both are important in the fight you are in. I'm pulling for you and pray you will make a full recovery. I really look forward to the next posting about your progress refurbishing this radio. I know what great performers they are, certainly right up there with a Philco 37-630.

Mike
