    Picked up a 39-6 for $12 and a friend is sending me a 38-62. Should be here tomorrow. The 39-6 cabinet is rough but I shall try!

Definitely worth 12.00 Icon_thumbup

Should be a relatively easy cabinet to make into a showpiece!!

Excellent find for $12!
It will most likely have rubber insulated wire. Not all that bad to fix, but it does take time and patience.
