Restoration complete 91b cathedral

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.

Thanks Ron for everything you do for us here, I was just kidding around on my decal headache. Most of us would never know something is not right unless a senior tells us other wise. That is how we learn. I call it constructive criticism.   We all have to swallow it as we grow.
