Got a reply today and the phone no./address today. He said he's holding it for me until I can drive up tomorrow. Let's see if he's true to his word.
I almost had another porthole the lady who got the 1956 Admiral was gonna pick up when it was offered free right in her backyard practically but someone on here offered money for it and it disappeared.The set has been posted about on this forum. I have no hard feelings over that one though.The cabinet was stripped of it's finish and cabinet work is not exactly my cup of tea unlike some on here that do beautiful things with cabinets.
I've never done a veneer patch and never refinished a whole cabinet. Also I was not aware that when it was offered on craigslist for money that they still had the original chassis and crt in the garage since there was a modern tv shown inside of it.
ps. I've already jumped all over my boss that I now need the truck tomorrow and to get his dirt out of the back today.See my other thread:
