Fred's job on the RCA140
#1

Some time in 2023 I acquired an RCA140, with the cabinet in pretty damaged shape.

So during the last Kutztown Joe Koester kindly took  the cabinegt to TX, to Fred Taylor.

Fred did really superb job on it. He also said there was more damage to the cabinet that I thought there was.
It came today.
The photos do not do it justice as the lighting is not powerful enough to get the finish to really show up, so I will show what the cam could see at that soft light.

Oh, and it was packed to withstand ISTA drop test plus some elephants trampling on top of it after having overindulged on coffee plant's fruit.

Here are some photos.

First packaging. Double-boxing, done properly, with 1' shipping styrofoam and 2.5" filling on the sides between the boxes, the cabinet wrapped in shippingf blanket.
   
   
   
   
   

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
