All caps, filters, and resistors were checked and replaced as needed. All brittle or bare wiring was replaced or re-insulated. The chassis has been cleaned, lubed, and re-aligned for optimal performance. The cabinet’s finish & restoration process. Our radio cabinets undergo a. Our goal is to maintain the natural beauty of the. Wood and grain, while providing a deep luster and shine. We achieve this by. Removing all the old and worn lacquers and stains. We then sand the cabinet. With fine grit pads down to the original bare wood. Nicks, chips, and blemishes. Are filled and/or blended. Any loose veneer is re-secured. We make sure any filler. Applied or repairs made are blended nicely and do not detract from the beauty. Of the set unless otherwise noted. New stains and sealers are applied by hand. We continue by using many coats of mohawk brand lacquers and toners applied in. The same manner as when the radio was originally finished in the factory. Use a nitrocellulose piano lacquer which is applied through a professional hvlp. Turbine spray system in a climate controlled room. We also apply very thin coats. This allows the lacquer to seep into. The grain and not cover it up. A fine grit wet sanding follows every third coat. Along with a polishing process and ending with an oz glaze rub. During the restoration process on this radio a small veneer repair was made on a grill bar. It has been filled, blended, and does not detract from the beauty of the set. Work are put into the radios, but as you can see, the final outcome is a. Beautiful, natural looking cabinet with gorgeous luster& shine. Are a great piece of history that come to you ready to proudly display, as listen to, in any room of the home or office. 13″w x 9″h x 7 1/2d. Coast, $35 central, $42 west coast.
