I appreciate everyone’s comments about the Zenith S-829 I brought to the meet. I never expected to win anything, let alone ‘best’ category. Thanks to all.
The Philco thet Ron brought, in the Oops category, well it does not look like that anymore. I managed to get it looking good again and all in one piece. Please se Ron’s site for step by step photos of the process I used to repair his cabinet.
Take care,
Gary.
