Hi Top,
I am not near you, hope you can find a restorer. Nice cat in the pics.

I don't know if you know, but this set has photo finish or faux wood grain around the dial. Pic IMG_1413a shows it well. So, if you find a refinisher make certain that he does not try and strip that area. UNderneath photo finish is a cheaper wood, that does not look good, nor will take a stain well. Yours appears to be in good shape, so it will be worth trying to save.

Chassis looks a little rusty, I have een worse, and underside of the chassis looks like no one has messed up anything. so that's good.

Good luck on the resto of your set.
Gary.

Absolutely no one is going to reverse engineer that circuit. Even the iron core is missing.RodB — 10:37 AM
