My grandparents originally bought this 37-650, and according to my mother, it hasn't worked since the 60's. For the last 25 years, it has been neglected in her basement. Time to make something of it. I took the chasis out, and took the cabinet to a professional refinisher, and just picked it up yesterday. He did 6 coats of lacquer, but to me, it looks like it just came out of the spray booth. I questioned if there was a touch of orange peal, and his answer was that I was just seeing the texture of the grain. What do you guys think? Could I hand polish it to get a glass finish? Have I done anything wrong yet?

Next is the chasis. All new caps and resistors just arrived, and I am trying to make up my mind about how extensive my work should be: Make a working radio, or strip it down to nothing, polish everything and rebuild it from scratch.
BTW: This is my first radio project, I have enjoyed surfing your forums. What a wealth of knowledge. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=31...1196521507
