Mikes 70 DONE
#46

Yes, I will try to do it tonight.
I was handling it a bit so I need to wipe all that smear off of it first.
BTW how do you clean these things? Pledge? Or what?
#47

Well, sorry guys, I could not make a good shot of it tonight. The radio is in a room with extremely high ceiling so indirect flash renders the radio almost black, and direct one obviously makes a contrast picture of it with a lot of reflections.
I will try to photograph it in the morning sun light as it is also indirect - my windows are facing north.

Still no good shots. The room just won't lend itself to photographing this shade without proper lighting equipment. And direct flash gives lots of glare.

Anyways, here's what I got - does not do it justice but gives you some idea.

Those walls are very clean, Icon_lol

I'm glad you didn't bring me any consoles. From what I can see, they need some work on top. Icon_twisted

Thanks Steve,
The hand crafted molding was the hard part, Icon_lol
