I just found this forum and it looks like a good one!

I'm Steve and as you can probably tell from my username, I'm a ham and so I can also help out some of you with questions regarding the chassis restorations.

A ham friend of mine found this 89 while he was making a delivery in Massachusetts (nice coincidence, as that's where I originally came from). The cabinet has a small missing bit of veneer, some scuffs and scratches but is in decent shape.

I've seen a lot of really sad-looking chassis on old ham sets as well as antique radios - this one's actually in nice shape as well. I'm hoping to post pics of my progress as I go along.

Although my friend tells me he fired it up and heard stations through a lot of hum, I'm going to wait until I replace all the electrolytics before trying.

One question with this 89: what wood species is used in the front veneer?
