Back to Life - Ready for another 65 years
#1

I declare victory re my 46-1213 project. Cabinet restored to mint condition, stripped the top layer of plywood and replaced with a 1/4 piece of walnut, carefully glued and refinished. 100% original look. Chassis re-capped and a top-to-bottom alignment, FM, AM and SW. All system work fine. Record changer re-furbished by Gib of West-Tech.

Thanks to all, I do appreciate your help.

Now I must ship it to Florida. Yikes .. Icon_redface Icon_redface Icon_redface ..... the thought of it.

Now lets see, where were we , oh yes, next, the 50-1723.

The 50-1723 should keep you busy for an hour or two.
Hope your move goes well without any damage.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
