38-15 finished - ipwizard - 11-30-2012
Ok one last post to brag.
My 38-15 is finished. The dial face has a place where the dial needle rubbed the gold foil off. Other then that and it works great and I installed an input for an MP3 player.

Nice!!

She plays good pulls in AM and SW stations. The Bezel was pretty nasty so I used Brasso to clean it up. That made it to shinny so I coated it with a couple passes of medium walnut toner and then cleared it. I think it turned it pretty good.

Really nice job. Raising the bar for all!

You did a really nice job! The grill cloth you used looks pretty good, too.

That's a neat little set, Keith! Nice job!
What have you pulled in on shortwave?

Very very nice!

It looks good. There is a seller on Ebay who has many dial faces, and you may find one one of these days.
RE: 38-15 finished - ipwizard - 12-05-2012
Shortwave mostly stations down in Mexico, I did pull in a couple from overseas they were speaking an Asian language. I don't do much SW listening.
Radio Daze sells a re-pop dial face for it but like a lot of their stuff there is no picture. Not sure how the re-pop would look I decided that the original one wasn't to bad. I have seen worse.
Thanks for all the comments everyone..
Should have the 610 console done this weekend. Finishing the cabinet for my AC Dayton, and will be starting restoration of a RCA Victor R-15 soon. I also need to finish up a 39-55 I shelved cause it was irritating me while trying to get the mystery control receiver to work.
It never ends...
