I figured a new topic was in order for the restorations so here it is.

15 Tradios recapped and working. 7 Tradios not working. 6 Tradios with good cabinets and working. 9 Tradios need cabinet restoration.

I have started blasting and it is going better now. I blasted and primed this one below and it will get its new almost perfect matched color today!
