My Next Project - worse than the last?
#7

   

Time to get started on the cabinet. It's pretty funky... I normally get a radio playing before I do cabinet work, but this radio depends on my ability to repair this cabinet. So, I'll be working on the cabinet and chassis at the same time.

   

Surprisingly, the grill cloth doesn't look all that bad. I may try to save it. We will have to see how that works out...

   

First order of the day is to glue this little piece back on. I glue on any pieces before I get started stripping. This way all of the cabinet goes through the same process. Less chance of weird coloration later..
