No, not yet. I have to get some poplar wood to re-manufacture the lower left base trim, put new plastic buttons on the bottom to protect floors. I also have to get new grill cloth for left and right panels and the center over the speaker. The grill cloth mounting panel is cardboard and it is warped from moisture exposure. I will have to make a new one with built-up poster board. At least I have the old one to use as a template. There is also some damage from termites at the lower left end of the front base trim. It is not as bad as the left side, so if I can get enough wood to make a new left lower piece for the side and part of the front I will be ready then to do some cabinet refinishing. There will be some veneer to make minor repairs to also. There are always a lot of details to take care of along the way.

You did a great job repairing that AC push-on-push-off switch. Thank goodness there are still some made almost identical to the old ones. I did discover that the Arrow company that made the original switch that Philco used on my radio is still around. They have some unusual switches that they make to supply the aircraft aftermarket repair businesses. Unfortunately anything related to aircraft carries a high price tag. The Ace switch was the closest to the original that I could find and was reasonably priced. The one downside of Ace Hardware is that you only have the choice of UPS delivery which is high cost. It would have been much more reasonable if they offered US Postal System delivery. I don't have to have real quick delivery.
