Hi Paul

Great deal on that cathedral...you're right, it does need a bit of cabinet work but I'm sure you can handle that, eh! Icon_biggrin

It really should have hex knobs. I've seen a few of these out "in the field," so to speak, with the brass escutcheon; but they all had hex knobs. Fellow Phorum member ed857 has one, and it also has hex knobs.

I see yours also has a piece of cloth from a 1932-34 Philco console, instead of the "diamond" pattern normally used in these sets. Perhaps someone has been in it before?

Nevertheless, you did really well, and I'm sure it will turn out really nice.
