Kevin,
That good looking radio was a steal at $45.00! I'm glad you were able to save it. You never know what might have happened to it.
I'll bet it will look great with some Howard's Restore a Finish on it.
I just bought a 40-150 at the SCARS radio swap meet in Burbank, CA almost 2 weeks ago. It needs a replacement dial glass. The dial glass itself is intact, but the painted backside is very "runny' and very difficult to read. Somewhere in it's past, I'm guessing it got some kind of cleaner/solvent on it which melted and shriveled the paint.
Hopefully, I'll be able to find a good used one somewhere. I know there's new ones out there, but I'd rather find a good used one that's not too expensive.
Tom
