Just finished RCA globetrotter
#9

Thank you for the comments. I run across these radios at garage sales and flea markets and by word of mouth. The cabinet part is easy but the chassis is another story,so I keep reading ''The Elements of Radio''
I also put a few adds on Kijiji with good response.
Here is my latest find..It is a RCA and the model is ''Master''
I picked it up at the local flea market for $30.00. It has now been racapped and polished up. Before and after photos
