I'm half-way through de-mounting the panel from my venerable R-388 - it
and the dial-drum are heading to Howard Mills for ReFurb.
The front panel of this radio was "re-finished" by a twit (or twits)
before it came to me (I've had it about 20 years now) in a
beige/pink/salmon gloss, with those 'press-on' transfer decals for the
control designations.
While the Cosmetics are with Howard, I'l repair it's recently-dead PTO
and re-tube, re-cap, and when it's back together again, it'll get a nice
tuning-up.
Hopefully it'll now outlast me - and perhaps become a Problem for
whoever has to clean out my Junk after I've gone SK. "My God! What did he
want with all that STUFF???"
Cheers
