Zenith 9-S-262 Restoration Chronicles
#42

For the inside of the cabinet I had read elsewhere that you could use Behlen Solar-Lux stain, Sea Blue color. I gave it a try and it came out great! The pictures make it look darker than it really is. It's a very close match to the color that was originally there. The dry wood really drank up the stain and I used about 3/4 of the bottle.

I was thinking about spraying the acoustic adapter with gold spray paint. I probably will but not until after the holidays.

Well, it's been a long, long road but it's finally done. Thanks to everyone who helped me out on this!!!
