My 38-690 Project
#6

Here is the finished product. Thanks to the input I received in the refinish post, I was able to get the nice finish I really wanted. It took pretty much all winter and half of spring to get this done. I had to learn how to use a spray gun, properly color the radio, and rub out the finish. This takes a lot of time as you know, then add work and household chores in the mix, and it takes even longer.

A special thank you to Ron for getting me the radio chassis front bumpers. Now my dial is protected from hitting the cabinet and everything lines up nicely. And thank you to the members that provided help along the way.

I really love how this radio turned out. While it was a learning experience, the process has quieted many fears I had working on such a big complex project. It's going to be a pleasure listening to it every morning before work. I can stream music to my transmitter as well, and when winters comes, I'll hear Zoomer Radio live again.
