So...just figured I'd share what the radio looks like as I received it this week. Certainly, there's a lot of cabinet work to do, and I'm a little concerned about what might be hidden under all that dark stain, lacquer, etc. In addition, the dial is merely a photocopy of an actual dial, the pointer needle is incorrect, the knobs are incorrect, and the speaker fabric will likely need to be replaced.
Luckily, I was able to order a repro dial from Radio Daze, but am having trouble locating the correct pointer, knobs, and fabric. I know this is probably elementary to most of you, so appreciate any recommendations on sources for these parts.
