WOW! THanks to each of you who have taken your time to "counsel" a genuine newbie... I am very grateful!

OK... I read every page of these links (and that's a boatload of reading!), and after some fifty Forum pages, my crummy old chassis doesn't look so bad!

But still, even though I have considerable hands on "electronics" experience, and can throw down a gorgeous solder joint, I would never take on the restoration of this 41-280 as a "first" restoration... no sireeee!

So, I will heed the advice I've been given here and seek out a competent restorer... I appreciate the "lead" that has been provided (I believe that he is in San Angelo, Texas... it's a haul from Hurst, but I'm sure UPS knows the way).

Also, if anyone could recommend other potential restorers to me, I would be very appreciative... post, e-mail, or PM me.

Thanks again...

Rob
