Just purchased most of the guts of a 38-690. No speakers, but the tuner and power/amp chassis' appear complete. I've asked the seller to box them separately, after pulling all tubes and wrapping them so they survive.
I plan on having a lot of fun (REALLY!) restoring the chassis. I'm quite thrilled to have such a high end radio to work with.
The thing is, no cabinet..
and I have no illusions of getting cabinet parts for it over here. Given that, what suggestions do you have for me once I get it all up to snuff? I might be able to build a crude cabinet myself, or find a Korean craftsman to make one that looks a lot better than anything I can do personally..
Also, expect that I will have a lot of questions while I'm restoring this.
You folks are all great. There isn't a one of you, even the newbies, that I can't learn something from.
