Ahh... I forgot one thing already...

The victim ...

This little radio may appear to have a beautiful finish, but trust me... it doesn't. Don't be fooled by a photograph. I was going to sell it as is..because I have this thing about saving original finishes no matter what... but I tried to save this one, and I failed. Restore a finish almost worked, but this finish is too thick. I don't know what was used on this radio, but I don't like it. Spraying a bad finish with clear lacquer isn't fair to anyone. You are cheating the radio and any buyer of that radio. This radio needs to be refinished, so let's do it..
