Belt is good as an upbringing tool. If used judiciously. And without sand.

Done Mike...

It ain't perfect but that hat I could do without re-veneering the cabinet.
All front veneer was repaired and there are no chips anymore.

I cant safely rot or buff out the fresh lacquer so it will be a you job in a few weeks...

Thanks, re-veneering is too much anyway, if I wanted a perfect radio I would not buy this in the first place, especially considering the history of it being delivered Icon_smile
It looks great.
This is good, I'm happy.

PS. You will have to teach me how to buff, mostly with what.
