Old Radio Cabinet Restorations

[Mitchell Andrus]

The work of a true craftsman. I can across this site by accident and had to share. Have a look at the "during" restoration photos.

Hope this is OK to post here - it is woodworking...

Boy, did those photos take me back -- 'way back. Our family first had a 1932 Philco that stood on skinny legs and had a fan-shaped plastic dial on which my Dad penciled the stations' call letters. When I was "a bad boy," Dad would remove a tube and hide it. This old box was succeeded by a 1940 Silvertone, the brand of Sears, Roebuck's radios. It looked a lot like those Zenith monsters, and it had a side drawer in which there was a record player. Zenith was the Cadillac of radios, very expensive, very futuristic in its design with a green "eye" in the center of the big round dial. The "eye" would wax and wane, according to the strength of the signal it brought in. All gone -- but not quite.

I enjoyed looking at the woodworking restoration... I would say this post qualifies.

Thanks for sharing.
