Here is a little Rex Cathedral radio that our President ( Jim Sargent) of our radio club ( VRPS) here in Dallas area wanted me to restore a beloved baby Rex Cathedral radio cabinet. The cabinet was pretty much roached out but was salvageable. I agreed to take on the job and this will be posted in our club news letter. It will show other members that now matter how bad the cabinet may be it can be repaired so don't throw it away . Being a rare radio it was worth the effort Icon_wave Icon_wave
