here is a shot of the final look under the set.
only one problem,, now that its all back together and on the shelf,, i am picking up no short wave.
im thinking everytime i put it up next to the other sets,, its gets pissy. i dont think it likes the shelf.
perhaps i bumped something on the band switch,,,, dono.... will look later.
it rained today and there are some clouds but it seems to do a whole lot more of that cracks and pops like you hear on AM when there is a storm coming. I plan to work the set really hard over the next few weeks and compare the cracks and pops to other sets... from there i will troubleshoot if need be.
