Well, fixed the pot, cleaned the case with GoJo, lots of grime, the cloth became dark brown, put the radio together.
It sings nicely and looks decent enough, I just have to figure how to fix that missing piece of veneer, and some black spots....they kinda blend in.
Terry told me there is some thing that can be melted on to resemble finish. I wonder if this is a possible venue.
The only thing I do not get is this: once the tubes warm up and the dial lights get dimmer which they should, I stop seeing the arrow (which is the semi-transparent strip in otherwise black rotating disk. And the dial itself in not lighted too well, I can only see it in a total dark. And I am not sure why as the lamp sockets, they only fit one way and all three of them are installed and all three lamps are on. A minor thing......but I'd like to see the dial.
