Well, the radio as good as dome; I put the chassis inside with the new set of chassis supports and the new bumper, all courtesy of RR.
However I entirely forgot the radio had no bolts top tighten the chassis down, it only had the "shipping" corner brackets that keep it from sliding back.
So I need a set of 4 screws and nuts, otherwise the supports keep it too high and I cannot put the knobs back.
I plugged it in and listen to it awhile: the sound is great.
Once I have the bolts and put the knows back on, I will download a photo.
But for all intents and purposes, this restoration is done.
The radio Kirk gave me about 8 years ago or so is eventually taken care of.
