What GarySp said!! This is outstanding!! The shading, even if not original really sets it off!! Hey, that also could have happened with aging, right? Gorgeous job!! Was it Phlogistron that posted a recent 20 restoration where the cabinet and chassis both came out like new? Hope U have a chassis that can be made as nice as this cabinet!!

Members of this and other Antique radio sites are preserving history!! And hey, a Model 20 can survive an EMP Attack and doesn't have a local oscillator to allow tracking in case of zombie apocalypse.
