38-116xx pics/Now Here
#18

     Finely all the work has paid off and this radio sounds as good as it looks, spend part of today getting the alignment done and putting back together. All short wave bands work great and am too. You know this isn't the best looking cabinet design especially if its roached out.  But when you turn back the clock and make it look like it did when is was brand new or close to it that SOB looks freakin nice. I put casters on it for easy moving. That thing is heavy. I made a new back cover for it and nows ready to PUMP out some GLENN MILLER or ARTIE SHAW OR DUKE ELLINGTON OR COUNT BASIE OR WOODIE HERMAN,TOMMY DORSEY MUSIC  you get the picture.  Thanks FRED TAYLOR                                  P.S. That's my electrical  man in picture Dick Morgan 50+ years working on these radios. He is one of the best in the buisness  .
