Thanks Gary and all the others that replied. Great info from all of you.

Of course as soon as I acquired the radio I got extremely busy with other things. So this project will have to wait for a while.

On the flip side, I've acquired a new set of knobs for it. At least those look pretty!

Since the radio was made in both brown and white, I have to decide what color I want mine to be...........Still undecided here. It looks like I'm going to have to strip it either way, so at the moment I'm thinking brown, that way at least I can skip the repainting process........I keep changing my mind on this every week or so.

Thanks again,

John
