Rare Stewart Warner 1271 Cabinet overhaul
#1

Picked this up at last Sargent auction in Dallas, don't see these around to much. The veneer is shot except for the round section were the dial is. I have new African rosewood veneer for the front . The lower sides and front will be new also. Sure will be a nice one when finished.

That is wonderful work Mr Taylor. I can certainly appreciate the attention to detail.

May I ask what do you use to refinish the chassis? My next project will require similar attention.

Thanks

First I bead blasted , then I used a good auto primer, then I used some auto paint that u can get at auto zone. Its pretty good stuff and dries fast like lacquer.

I finished the Stewart Warner 1271, took quite a bit of work but was well worth it, this model just doesn't show up very much and are expensive when they come up for sale in good shape. I tend to get my radios at low prices because they need much work and I know how to repair cabinets. Anyway this sure does look nice now, may not be exactly like factory but whos complaining.
