Hey Everyone, I finally completed my restoration of my 47-1230. I might do a bit more polishing etc, but it is virtually done now. I have refinished the cabinet, The radio works now and also the Phono works and plays 78 rpm records like a champ. Here is a picture of it. I wanted to thank everyone for all the help they have given to me on restoring this, without you I couldn't have done it. Warren

Sorry, I don't have a picture of it before. At the time , I didn't want to keep memories of what happened. It was my Fathers, he bought it new in 1947. It made it through a house fire and because of the heat and smoke damage it needed totally stripped and refinished.

Thanks, Paul...My Father is still around, although he is 91 and getting some dementia.. I plan on taking it to him soon and show it to him working again, I think he will be very happy.
