Great job! Sweet radio.

Thanks for al the kind words. I found the original Bezel opening and put
that on. I also changed the two odd knobs last night. I was pulling in
stations from around the world last night. This radio is sensitive to
antenna length. The higher the frequency the shorter the wire. The SW band
is really broad and wire length is significant.

Hagster mentioned the bottom trim is a little darker in his reference
manual. I can clean off the wax and darken it with toning lacquer in the
spray can.

QUESTION - The transformer is running hot. Is this normal for this model?
It hurts to grab and hold the power transformer.
