Big zenith 12s370 cabinet refinish for a customer is now completed, I have another in line for the same treatment but that one is mine and will go in my collection. The 370 is a very good looking radio and will be a nice addition to anyone's collection.

Fred,
What does a typical zenith console cost to refinish? Do you work for a furniture refinishing business?
Your radios always look better than new.
