Hey,
I know you wanted to see the resto pics for the Airline and Aircastle radios, so here they are.
I fully stripped most of the veneer and did about 10 spot patches on the cabinets. I glued down all the underwood and separations. The Aircastle needed a new grill so I fashioned one and matched it. I stripped all of the old finish and gave them 2-3 coats of grain filler.

I stripped the chassis', derusted, cleaned, polished the Aircastle chassis but had to paint the Airline due to the pitting. I am in the recapping and rewiring stage for both.
