Amazing how they add up in a hurry!
BTW, I like to watch your restoration videos. I get a lot of good ideas for restoration on cabinets and rusty chassis'.

Probably not anytime soon. I currently have about 45 radios and B&W TVs to restore. That's going a take several years I figure.
I'm currently working on an arrangement with a local woodworker / furniture restored. He already has a workshop and is about to open up a retail shop. I'm hoping to put up some of my sets in his show both to attract attention and sell them. He also has some radios I might get running for him. Perhaps we'll form a partnership where he'll do the cabinet work and I'll fix the electronics.
This is all just talk at this point but we'll see. If nothing else, he should me able to fabricate some wood parts I need for several sets.
Also, he has access to a auto spray equipment and can paint some metal cabinets for me
