The "After" Pics

Here's my second Stromberg-Carlson 400H. This is my best work so far, so I packed it up and mailed it to my brother, K3KU, because I don't know anyone who can better appreciate this type of endeavor.



I kept the original finish, only touched up the scratches and repainted the dark trim, then added two coats of lacquer, preserving the original decal. Even the feet are original. The only parts replaced were capacitors, some resistors, one tube, a few frayed wires, and the grill cloth.





Although it was a pretty simple project, it stretched the limits of my skill and knowledge. It arrived safely (bubble-wrapped inside a box, then bubble-wrapped the first box inside a bigger box) and was, to the say the least, well received.

Thanks again to all who helped me with this project.
