Glad to hear of another one of these great sets back in service. I think the cabinet looks pretty good as it is. I restored a 48-482 about a year ago and use it as my daily driver on my desk at work tuned to the local NPR station. I did tackle the FM alignment and it was a little tricky but not too bad. I don't think I had the problems with mine that other have had, mainly with the FM1000 detector. I think my biggest problem was getting a squished piece of solder attached to the IF transformers correctly for signal injection.
