Great job ! Icon_clap Icon_thumbup   Nice save. That cabinet looks great. It's nice to see a radio saved like that. I have a Crosley model 716 which has a really rough cabinet. The veneer is peeling and the speaker, which points up through the top of the cabinet, came loose in shipping. Fortunately the chassis is OK, only the rectifier tube on top of the power transformer got broken. The original cabinet is sort of a low tombstone, tall cube type. I am going to make a new one rather than fix the old one. I plan on making a "doll house" console for it, a floor standing cabinet, just smaller than most, only about 3 feet tall. That may happen next summer when the weather is more conducive to such things. Right now I have the Philco 37-640 I am working on, and then the Scott Radio Labs (successors to E. H. Scott) SLR-M to keep me out of trouble (and extra money to play with) .
