my newly cleaned up 37-650
#1

looking forward to Kutztown so I can grab some original knobs as well as some grill cloth for this old girl

I'm VERY pleased with this one (especially the $30 price) in both looks and performance....

I have it hooked to a 100' out door di-pole and it seems to do GREAT on both BCB and SW

however I'm not looking forward to doing the caps on the modular chassis but she's working fine and sounds sweet right now

the finish on the radio is basically "cleaned" up original ........

a bit of hot soapy water to get the the grime off (drying IMMEDIATELY of course) followed by a wiping of Howards restore-a-finish and a coat of howards "feed-n-wax" and a hand-buffing

I'm a big fan of the "taken care of original" look as opposed to the 110% "brand-new looking" restoration.......

but that's just me...everybody has their own tastes

the lamp with shade was a $3.00 goodwill find and the shade is painted glass

my wife found a HUGE black leather skirt (also at goodwill) and she is making me a little "runner" to put my "bar" on
