My latest radio I bought today at an estate sale is a Rogers Majestic console model 7M932.
It's all original.. I just have to clean the cabinet. recap the radio and add the station letters.
it sound easy but it will take some time..
Thanks for the comments.. I have it recapped and it is playing good.. I am looking for the instructions for setting up the automatic tuning. ..
I paid a little more than I usually do for this one but I like it.
Well I got this radio all recapped and cleaned up.. now it plays very good and after cleaning the cabinet it looks like new. I installed a phono jack for an MP3. Sure looks nice when lit up in the dark.
This cabinet was in excellent condition when I bought the radio. It was the best that I have ever seen ,on a radio that old. Because of the condition of the radio I paid more than I have ever paid for a radio.
I cleaned the whole cabinet with gojo cream. I rubbed it into every crevice on the cabinet. then wipe it down with a damp rag. I then buffed it with a soft cloth.. After it was dry I gave the whole cabinet a coating of Trade Secret.
It is a scratch filler and it hides the small imperfections that develop in a radio of this age. I use a small cloth and apply it just by rubbing it all over. I usually leave the trade Secret on a few minutes and then wipe the whole cabinet down with a clean rag..
That is all I did with this one
Hay Dan the radio looks great, how does it sound Can u pick up 770 kaam radio in Dallas they play a lot of old music and on Sunday night music from the big band era. Buy the way can hook me up with a set of semantics for my deforest/ crosley , I am going to start restoration on it here very soon maybe next week . Send me a PM and well go from there ok. I for got the model # but will get back to you with it, its at the shop and im at home right now. Heres a picture of the deforest from Canada .
Fred ,, I can email you the schematics, if I have the model number. Since I live in Calgary Alberta Canada, I can't pick up any stations in Dallas, it is a little too far away from me.
Here is one that I finished a while ago, a very similar model.
