531 Questions
#3

Welcome to the Phorum!  You don't see that model show up very often and it seems you may have one in nice condition.  If you are primarily only interested in the cabinet, I and I expect most on this Phorum, would like to see you keep the radio and cabinet together even if you don't restore the radio. There are fewer and fewer of these each year.  If you do decide to restore the radio (if it needs it) you can get a nice set of schematics for only a few bucks from Chuck Schwark and people here are very willing to answer questions and point you in the right direction.  If the cabinet needs restoration, there are a number of threads in the Phorum on the materials originally used (primarily toning lacquers with clear gloss lacquer finish) and a number of folks here with more skills than I have that can advise on them.
