Mike,

I know what you're saying and I've done a lot of the same things you've done, doing lots of reading, asking questions and following restorations. I learned a great deal from Phil's old radios at www.antiqueradio.org and the You Tube videos of Joernone. He'll take a radio that is a real basket case and make it beautiful. I have so much respect for his work.

I can solder and am getting a handle on paper and electrolytic capacitors, resisters and tubes. I still have a long way to go.

Now, as for refinishing, I'm still a novice, but I've been doing a lot of reading and watching You Tube videos.

Tom
