As you can see someone has added a phono input at some point, and installed a toggle switch just above the dial.Icon_twistedIcon_twisted I'll just leave the toggle I'd probably do more harm then good trying to fill and repair the hole in the burled veneer. I did get good news from the owner that the finish was put on by him, and that it is shellack, so hopefully it wont be a nightmare to re-finish.

I have a lead on some chevron grill cloth, still waiting to hear back from the fellow.

The only thing still sticking out in my mind is the owner powered the radio on and he said he smelled and saw smoke before turning it off. One of the E-caps has a wax fountain coming down the backside of the chassis so I hope that was what was smoldering and not the power transformer, but the 5Z3 rectifier is toast so not looking to good. Fingers crossed!
