The Crosley 716 is DONE. It is in the new cabinet, and working. I am listening to it on AM right now. The interference from the power lines is pretty bad right now in the daytime. Tonight, after about 7 PM it will settle down as the load on the lines decreases. Also, at that hour skip reception begins. Despite the interference, with the radio working on my outside antenna I was able to pick up WWV at 5 MC and 10 MC very clearly, as well as several other shortwave stations. Here are pictures of what the radio looks like with the new, custom child sized console cabiner.

I also made a custom label to go inside the custom cabinet using Lotus Word Pro....
