If you want to challenge your woodworking skills by building a replica cabinet, it's perfect.

Trust me, you don't want to practice on an EH Scott as your first project.
This will be my second project. I've done one sucessfull recap already, but I did pick up the other two radios because they were $7 each and I thought they would provide good experience. I'm not looking to make a profit, and my Brother-in-law certainly has the woodworking skills to pull it off so I'll probably let him have his fun and build me a new cabinet. Any tips for cleaning up the chassis?

Thanks again,
Dan
