[AMRadio] Original Ranger

[Greg Mijal]

I just finished up restoring a Viking Valiant and painted the cabinet flat 
black.  It looks pretty good and was a lot cheaper that trying to match up 
the deep maroon that Johnson used.  The only hard part of it was stripping 
the old paint off.  Probably $5 in material to get a decent cabinet.
