Have been making some slow progress. When the three Mousegeteers came over a couple of weeks ago Sam was kind enough to leave me a signal generator to fix oh I mean he was kind enough to leave me some salvaged veneer which I was able to render some useful pieces to apply to this project. Kirk brought some nice new veneer but it paper backed and is too thick for this job. It's hard to tell but there was a lot of small repair work to be done. A lot of the grille was delaminated and missing some pieces. Patches on the arch, surround, and front panel. Have a little more work to do before I can apply the patch on the front but have roughed it out in veneer.

Am thinking about the next big project have a few to chose from: 200X, 16 chsde, 116X, 116P, and 41-300. A while back I picked up a WRL Globe Scout 40A (read small ham transmitter) have been tinkering w/it am waiting for some parts to come in.

The old 660L has been playing some Christmas tunes like this one:

Merry Christmas All!!
