It now receives real OTA NTSC on Ch. 39 ... installing a UHF strip is easy
and we still have that one LP station.

I'm wondering about the cabinet. Mine is in good shape overall, but the
bottom part is bad. See the picture on Radiomuseum.org, though mine
is not as bad, as only the speaker slats and the very bottom front part
are bad.

BUT ... WHAT ARE THEY? For all the world it appears to be photofinish.
Its flaking off in very very thin splotches, leaving bare wood. Could this
really be toner and varnish? I didn't think that "flaked" off.

As to refinishing ... I found some shelf liner paper at Walmart.com that
is close and I'm going to stick it on. The next owner can refinish it and
risk damaging the CRT.
