Sylvania roundie

[polaraman]

I am making progress on the Sylvania. I got all the junk stripped off the cabinet. I had to install a new strip of trim at the top of the front. Put two 3" wide strips of wood on the bottom to hold the legs. Glued may of the joints again and added screws to stiffen up the joints. Home Depot only had Birch or Red Oak sheets. I went and picked the best Oak I could find. Think the man was getting pissed that I had all those sheets of wood standing on end. Needed to do that to pick the best grain. Bought some Red Mahogany stain and some modern varnish. Next I will have to strip the front of the old stain. Think I have a flyback coming. Once I get that I will start the electronic part. I have a CRT that is weak. I will put a brightener on it to see how it does.

Waiting to see how Blue Lateral makes out with Hawkeye on the CRT rebuild. I have one that the filament will not light up. It has not gone to air and is rebuildable.
