Get to work Ron, Icon_lol

Sam,
  Portables are rarely wooden sam and these are part of the 50 cabinets I have done the chassis for (and Mike). When these are done I will do 10 more of them and then 10 more, and so on until they are all done! I may just sell some unfinished at some point.. The record players will be next year probably unless I have a miracle... Then it is 3 other peoples cabinets! UGH


Kenneth,
 I would do your cabinet for you but I am super overloaded with them right now... I have Mikes 620 already. This will be my 4th 620, Icon_rolleyes
Post a picture of it so I can see it.. Veneer issues, cabinet weaknesses, or is it a strait forward restore?

I veneered the Sparton 65 today, Grain filled the RCA and the GM, and worked on the basket case Jackson bell that Mike did the chassis of..
