Dumont RA-103D "Rumson" restoration

[bandersen]

I've been slowly working on this set the last few months and it's turning out to be a real challenge.

I forgot to take any good photos before getting started so let me fill you in a little. The owner found this on the East coast in rough condition.
It had been painted pink, was missing the back, had a brightener and as I was about to discover, real ugly old repairs/hacks.

His brother did a nice job refinishing it, but the knobs retain some of that pink

I think the dial glass broke in transit to my place. Should be easy to replace.





Chassis is filthy but doesn't look too bad from the topside.
