Hi all! I just joined the group and I was wondering if anyone here could point me in the right direction.
I recently purchased a 41-265, ending a 20-year dream to purchase my own console radio.
(Side note: The first time I ever saw a console radio was at a flea market and I was 12 at the time. I think it went for around $400. After that, I knew I had to get one. Didn't matter the brand or model, as long as it looked nice to me. Over the next two decades, other expenses and bills got in the way, but I finally had the chance to purchase one I could call my own.)
I won't dare plug it in, but everything on the inside looks like what you'd expect for something more than 60 years old. On a positive note, it doesn't look like any modifications have been made to the components.
The exterior could use some work. While there are no major cracks or anything like that, it does show some regular wear and tear.
I'm not looking to turn this around and resell it. I'd like to keep it as a conversation piece. Anyway, I was wondering if you guys knew anyone in the SE Texas area who specializes in refinishing and restoration work.
Your help is appreciated!
