Jerry:

Wow. These are beautiful. I have a 38-116. I'm listening to CHWO on it right now. I did an electronic restoration about a year and half ago. I haven't gotten up the courage to tackle the cabinet yet. I've done several table radios but never a console. Do you have any pointers? It's a great radio and I want it to look as nice as it performs. What sort of spray equipment do you have? Did you have to remove the grill bars to refinish them? Did you have to repaint the escutcheon?

thanks,
Steve Chambers
