Today my RCA C9-4 arrived safe and sound ! I must compliment the seller. Communications regarding the shipping was excellent, and he did a wonderful job of packing it. I advised him to go to Harbor Freight and buy mover's blankets and use those for wrapping it and padding instead of Styrofoam, which he did. It saved a HUGE load of mess, and made unwrapping it a whole lot easier. I really look forward to restoring it. I am VERY happy looking at the grill cloth. It is PERFECT ! The cabinet is in pretty good shape too. I will have to do a little re-gluing of the top to the rest of the cabinet, along with some of the little triangular pieces used to help tie the top to the rest of the cabinet, but, other than that it is fine, and will clean up nicely. I don't think I will have to do more than clean it well with Go-Jo, and then give it a coat or two of tung oil to bring back the gloss. I took these pictures of it right after I finished unpacking it.
