Finally completed the restoration of this lovely radio. All caps and out-of-tolerance resistors were replaced. The cabinet was stripped and refinished using toning lacquer and spray-on clear lacquer for the top-coat. New decals were applied and the dial escutcheon was sprayed to restore the original color. The rotten pushbuttons were replaced with new replacements. This was my first cabinet restoration and I did make a few mistakes, but overall, I am quite pleased with the results. Thanks to all who responded to my queries re: the cabinet restoration...without your help I'd have been totally lost!
I have enclosed some before and after pictures. Enjoy!
