yes, I want to get as much literature on this radio as I can, as it seems like it'll be a nice one if I can get that finish cleaned up. I guess the lacquer is peeling. The dial glass is there, but needs to be buffed back up. The top of the chassis looks unmolested. I see that there's not much info on here on that particular model for some reason. Which chassis would most closely match the 38-1 so that I can apply the same repairs to mine? And also, what does that "A" in code 121A signify, and would I need a revised schematic? Well, I'm going to take a deep breath and attempt to pull that dial face without breaking it. Any last minute pointers? Wish me luck... Icon_shifty
