Two small radios from France. Restoration and review.
#5

One is ready for washing, the other for painting:

   

   


ATTENTION!!!
Faint-hearted and heart patients,
please do not look!
Go straight to the next picture!:

   

   
The setup went quite smoothly. Considering the wretchedness of the circuit diagram, much worse was expected and the readiness for a battle with the pairing was increased. But surprisingly, everything worked out without problems. Despite the fact that the overview and extended HF have the same circuit, and are switched only by additional capacity. Nevertheless, everything fit as expected. Their unkind words were given to those who came up with such a set of ranges:

GO - LW 1000-2000m
PO - MW 200-550m
OC - SW 1 16-50m
BE - SW 2 46-50m
What the H**l.
But the sensitivity at a glance is quite decent.
Restoration of cabinets.
It was necessary to glue the joints, fill the veneer and chips. JS only needed to work with Restore-a-Finish.
But the second one went through Danish Oil first, didn't like it. Covered it with shellac. It turned out what I wanted, not quite a mirror, but exactly the same texture as it was originally.
