Damn that sucks. Sometimes it seems that the nicer the cabinet is the more chance there is of the cabinet getting beat. And if the cabinet is trashed nothing will happen to it.

Same with fresh paint or varnish. I've got so I'll only spray paint when I know no one will be stopping by for days, especially larger stuff where I'm using the air sprayer.

I have also had bad luck with radios that look minty being tough dogs. I have a little RCA nipper V radio bakelite AA5 that was only issued in Canada, and as minty and nice as it looks it has had one problem after another. I'm thinking now it might have silver mica disease, pretty much cause there's nothing left to go wrong. First is was a intermittent that would show up at random. I think now it works for about a hour and drifts off the station and goes dead.

If I had picked it up in a damp musty shed and changed the filter caps it would have worked fine.
