Garod 31 Tombstone restore
#4

Here it is folks Icon_eek Spent the day at the shop finishing up the Garod 31. Looks great considering what I had to start with. Could not find any pictures on line of this radio so I guessed of what it may have looked like when new. The grill cloth that came out of it is the same looking as Philco 90 and others and will buy some of that from Radio Daze when I get the chance , its an AC/DC set and was modified deleting the vibirator but will redo like the factory using a vibirator. The radios plays very good and displays wonderfully. For $25 and 15 shipping it was a great purchase and fun to restore to its former glory Icon_clap The veneer was not damaged any where buy the paint or any thing else. When I buy a radio that's been painted i check it out well and try to dermine if the wood had been damaged givin the reason for the paint job. If the wood surface looks good then i will get it and the paint has protected the wood from moisture  and scratches and nicks. Another fine radio restore Icon_thumbup
