zenith color roundie tv saved from barn 6/3/12

[snelson903]

started installing panels now got one glued on the second one drying tonight before set the top panel i have to block sand the edges so all panels fit nicely together ,thats why i left about 1/8 over hang sand to fit .then fit the top panel last,bezell for picture tube almost ready for new paint.

[snelson903]

both left and right new panels on ,i will have to remove exs glue and sand edges before setting top panel . my wife is watching me re-do this tv cabnet ,and thinks since i can do this to a tv cabnet how about her kitchen cabnets that iv been putting off for years ,i dont want to replace kitchen cabnets this is turning into work. got the top on today wait another 24 hrs and back to sanding on the edges to make clean fit.

Uh-huh... you've worked yourself into a pickle now!! You should have seen that one coming!

[snelson903]

i might know how to get out of it ,get her out there and make her do some sanding.

That cabinet is shaping up fast. These jobs go better when you have the right tools. I like that vice-grip clamp with the L-O-N-G jaws.

yah welding tools are working out pretty good here ,i guess need to invest in some of those long wood clamps.i cant wait to see how the cabnet turns out iv been expairmenting with stains that match the orginal , it looks like zenith used three different color woods here ,so some areas will get more stain than others to make a even color ,im going to have the inside color made, cant seem to find a match.

Ha, Ha, Ha...well, it was nice knowing you. Might want to tune up the truck for a speedy getaway. That's the best advice I can offer, not having any experience in relationships.

Anyway...the job you're doing on that TV is just amazing. I can't wait to see the finished project!

[freakaftr8]

Ditto there.
If its not words with friends on her iPhone. It ain't happening.
Lol

On the other note beautiful job you are doing on the cabinet! Has anyone else here rebuilt a cabinet for their set?

[snelson903]

im still prep. the tube bezzel wet sanding and removing corosion pretty much have got all the pitting gone now they where not to deep ,if i had any that were to deep i was going to jb weld and sand flat,but turned out ok just have to fine sand now before repainting.here different stages of sanding ill take a pic of last before i shoot it. actually if anyone has another spare bezzel or two let me know, got another idea for something else later. i was able to prim and lay down the first color tonight. ill see in the morning how it looks and mask out and shoot the second color.its all one color just camera fash

I've been looking for the ones I had, I think I may have left them behind when I moved out of my house If one turns up, it's yours.

[snelson903]

Is the bezel two toned?
Looks like a gold on the main part and silverish on the outside edge?
Can't tell.
Looks great though, fun to watch this baby coming back to life!
