When Is A Restoration Really A Restoration?
#27

Thanks Pepperoni (my favorite type of pizza!). Retro-Tonics actually had another customer wanting the same back so he is trying to work something out but said it must be done in two or three pieces. Thanks for the tip on automotive upholstery, though. Great idea!

Wow do I feel good today. My ebay won Zenith 12A58 was just hand delivered by a very fine dealer. It was beautifully restored cosmetically but he said it didn't work. After he left, I fired it up and it played loud and clear! The problem was a bad connection on the band selector switch, which you have to "play with" until it seats. Also, I FINALLY got a good deal on a radio on ebay instead of paying through the nose. It is an RCA 811K, another higher level set with exc. features. Totally restored, only $158.00!

Wonder if any other good luck will come my way??!
