Restoration complete 91b cathedral
#13

Fred, I'm not being critical. Really. But if you post something and seek the opinions of others, if it isn't authentic, I will point it out. Not to be "better" than anyone because I certainly am not, nor would I ever want to give that impression. To me, it's about the authenticity. I think we owe it to future generations to try to get our restorations "right" as much as possible. No, we can't always achieve that goal, but we can try. And there is no doubt that your work with cabinets and lacquer is among the best I have seen. You're certainly a heck of a lot better with a cabinet than I am, for certain.

I tried to tell Radio Daze for years that their Philco decals were the wrong fonts. It took an email campaign of other Phorum members to finally convince them to make them correct.
