Here's a few more pictures for your amusement.

As I said, I regret that I did not take a good frontal "before" shot of the cabinet.

This blurry photo sort of shows the waviness of the veneer on the side.

From a similar angle, you see that now, all of the veneer on the top and sides is new.

Back view of how the cabinet originally looked. You can see more clearly the poor condition of the veneer on top and sides.

Another "after" shot, from a similar angle as the one above. No, the AC cord does not look authentic. I fully intend to replace it later. I just threw that gray one on there in a hurry so I could listen to Christmas music on this radio yesterday afternoon.

Also later on, I intend to clean the top of the chassis using Etech's method.

And finally, a better frontal shot of this radio. It plays almost as well as it looks - it still has a bug in the 2nd detector-AVC-1st audio tube, or in this area. I'll have to chase that down later on. For now, however, it's back to the customers' radios...
