I picked this one up during the winter and finally had a chance to get it done. It's an RCA model A-33 and the second one I have done.
I did sell it before I started on the cabinet.
I recapped the radio and everything works very well.
I thought the cabinet turned out very good... sometimes when you do a cabinet it just does not pop,,, but this one did and I know the customer will be happy.
Enjoy the photos

Sold is good, keep is better, Icon_lol

I just sold Mike my 16. Made him pay out the nose too. Icon_mrgreen

Got rid of another console too so now I have room for the tubes in the garage.

Very nice job Icon_thumbup

I would certainly keep that one. It certainly has one of those "I ain't plain Jane" looks.

That is a beautiful set and the veneer is spectacular. The new owner should be very pleased.
