How many radios?
#23

I'm currently working on a Motorola 56-CC-2 (down to just the clock movement)

I have a 40-125 cabinet to finish leftover from last year.

in queue:

Philco 41-RP2
Philco 1935 16B late model (chassis 125)
Philco 39-7
AK 42 and E speaker
Philco 53-701 Clock radio
Motorola 57 5C25GW (clock radio)
Sonora 179
Grundig 2066

Back down to doing 1 radio at a time.. last summer I was doing 4 at the same time, drove myself nuts. I cranked out a 624, 38-12, Emerson DA287 and the 40-125.. and then on to a 41-315X in December AND a Sansui 500 receiver. Burned myself out for a few months too!

Decided I'm just not in a hurry. I'm neither a proper Repairman nor a Factory worker. Icon_eek

I'm also not allowed to buy any more radios until I've finished the above.. We'll see how that goes, especially with Spring garage sales and estate sales...
