Chasis make overs - Fred Taylor - 01-05-2015

                       When restoring cabinets I like to redo the guts because most of what I get is rusted or in poor shape. I can buy them for a lot less money and that goes for the cabinet to. I enjoy repairing, and restoreing these radios, its no challenge for me if there not all jacked up.. But I do have my limatations .

What kind of paint are you using to paint the Zenith chassis?

  I first use  automotive self  etching primer/sealer  and then believe  it or not Krylon hammered copper color for top coat.

Thanks Fred,

It sure looks like a real thing, not hammered paint, which is good.

The very first is an AK.
Without the RF chassis (lucky you!)
