[Boatanchors] Globe Scout 65 and Globe Scout 65A Cabinet Paint.

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

I "believe" the Globe Scout 65 I owned had a wrinkle
finish cabinet, but a smooth finish front panel; both
in basically the same shade of grey. However, memory
has undoubtedly faded in the over 50 years since I
sold it to a ham in West Virginia!
