Canadian KL96 console restored
#1

A friend of mine gave me this radio  because he had it given to him ,and he does not collect radios.
        During the last winter I recapped the chassis and it plays very good.
  I just finished the cabinet, and it came out pretty good.    There was enough of the original colors left
to figure out where it should be darker.
After I installed the chassis the push buttons would not work.so I took everything out of the cabinet and set it on the bench.

   It turn out that there are three wires coming from the chassis  to the push buttons besides the three prong plug that goes to the chassis
Those wires come from the bottom of the chassis, so I missed them.  it is all good now.
 Here are some photos.
