$10 Fake Philco Baby Grand radio and a boring weekend
#46

MrFixr55, thanks for the encouragement. I fully recognize that i am fanatical when i get into something i like.
The reason there is more planning than action, is because i am out of the plywood i need to get going on this. A nice 3/4" thick 24x24" piece of grade B whatever wood would fit the bill. Im going to go overboard making the front face if this thing strong, secured to the cabinet frame, and its joints shored upnon the inside. Because just like it was bolted in place behind the dash of a '49 Buick, all the radios weight is hanging off that wood panel with two "wings" on tge back if the radio bolted to the cabinet frame.
plus i want to garentee nothing is going to buzz or rattle fom the bass of this thing. Im looking at YOU Bing Crosby!
