'49 Zenith in So. Jersey

[7"estatdef]

Went over and got it yesterday.Set is very clean no rust hasn't been serviced. Unfortunatly I managed to bang on one of the front edges on the cabinet in transit. Not badly but kinda bugs me that it happened. Certanly fixable. I did notice something odd dark wear ring around the cabinet at the volmue control. Looks like wood is dark under a blonde coating. Can this be?

Doncha just LOVE IT when that happens ?!? Kinda spoils the score, a little, anyway. Oh well, at least you're not the only one who's done it-Misery loves company, I suppose...

That would be the channel selector knob... They're bass ackwards in '49.
Wood is light, that dark ring is just some sort of grim that got worked into the wood.
