Well....the radio has been in the family probably since the beginning. I an restoring it to the singing condition, and the guy does not worry enough to try to really restore the cabinet, he said he would remove the paint spot and put a clear lacquer coat and that would be it, so this does not warrant an extra effort to get it to the pristine condition. I will bring it to the state of the last working repair which was probably done some time in 40-s. That will be it.

Actually today i told him that this is an AA5 so he has to warn his daughter (who it is for) to be extra careful. He is an EE so he understands.
