>Is there a way that you are aware of, to restore it to what the original finish looked like?  If so, I would like to do that.
If it were mine I would remove it from the cabinet, give it a good clean w/something to remove any wax or oils. Then give it a coat or two of toned lacquer (med walnut) to diminish the brightness.

> Also, I just noticed the N3GTE...
When you post that you had a Kenwood something or other I did a little sleuthing and found your call. I was surprised that are calls are just a few letters off but I've had mine since 2/89. 1st licensed as a novice 30 yrs ago this month as KA3TSY and got the 'GTE call when I upgraded to Tech. It's nice and short on CW so I kept it.

>Next up, we are going to attempt redoing a 1940 RCA Victor model 110K. I hope that I'm permitted to say "RCA" in this forum... LOL

I was down in the basement in my dad's

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
