I redesigned the front of this.
Drawing number 49.

Taking into account my own basic skill set....the probable skilset of 60s weekend hobbyist and a design that he might of picked after thumbing through a '64 Radio Shack catalog.
And planning it around a crusty table and loose fabric from the attic or basement.
Picking a flowers pattern to keep the wife happy.
This is what i got. Two final options.

The second drawing has a more 1930s quality to it.

The ciggerette glazed
Mrs. Doubtfire of radios.
