Thanks, and actually I didn't put that much money into it, I actually have more time into it than money (5 years to be exact) and considering that I got the radio for free and the electrical work was already done on it when I got it (including a period correct cloth cord and Bakelite plug end) so all I have into it money wise was what I paid for the grille cloth and the Elmer's Glue and Brown Coffee Filters and the stain and varnish and stripper (which all of those things individually were under $20 a piece).
And yes I was very happy when I finally got it done, as it was a project that was a long time coming as far as finishing it goes.
