- FM Multiplex board; all electrolytric capacitors replaced.
- FM front end board; all but two electrolytric capacitors replaced. Other caps tested.
- Wood case; Sanded, restained, three coats of wipe on polyerathane was applied and then wax was applied.
The case was damaged on the top. One slat is damaged which is typical for these units.
The left side of the case had some veneer missing which I attempted. to repair. Although the damaged is camaflaged, the defect is still visible on close inspection. (see pics). Overall, It's a nice looking unit!
I rated this a 7 mostly because of age and wood case condition.
I included a lot of pics so use them as part of the description. Internal pics show cap replacements etc..
Will answer all questions
$450 cash via local pickup
Thanks for looking!
