Hello Experts,
I'm refinishing a Zenith tombstone model 809. It was once ZOWIE! looking. I hope to make it look good again. It must have spent time in a damp environment. I'm having the front speaker grill chromed. I'm interested in some opinions on original lacquer colors. I've seen a few online photo of the radio that have perhaps been refinished. From the original finish, and I did document it, I can see a couple of tones as well as almost black on some trim and edges. I wonder if anyone has researched or has one of these Art Deco babies in excellent condition. I would appreciate some opinions.
Thanks,
Dave
