Model 650B Tombstone Project
#1

Here's one of the first sets I plan to refinish next spring:

Of course that striped grille cloth has got to go. Icon_rolleyes

The only other major problem is the split in the front panel veneer just above the hole for the tone control shaft, which you can sort of see in the photo above. (edit - OOPS - forgot the volume control is on the RIGHT on these models.) Icon_redface

It is missing its speaker, and the chassis is plenty dirty, but it has all of its tubes save one (the Type 80 rectifier), and all tube shields. Should be a good project.

It has all of its knobs (they aren't shown above, but I have them). It will also need a new dial scale.
