RESTORING ZENITH 39A (CABINET FINISHED)
#15

I am now almost finished with the zenith 39a cabinet, have decided to go with semi gloss finish with the exception of the large cover that's opens to view the radio, that will be  a piano high gloss finish that will be a smooth as the finish on a Rolls Royce, that I still need to do , have to wait about a week to rub out and buff top. I think I did good on my toning and color . I did some air brush toning to give the new finish a antique look, that's resembles the old colors but with a bran new look, also adding some of my special touches that really bring out the design of the cabinet , now I will get radio playing soon and all cleaned up and put her in the museum. I will post pics when all done . Fred Taylor  Icon_eek
