Arg. Next up on the agenda is superglueing the replacement speaker studs to the baffleboard. Installing the speaker isn't possible because they's just a-spinn' and a-spinn'. I have to buy some cupwashers and bolts to attach the top of the chassis to the cab. I'm also missing one dakaware knob. Fortunately, it's a stock Davies 1470, iirc, easily obtained and relicced to match the rest of them. To the Home Despot for the hardware!
On another forum, I was informed that copper was a base coat for chroming, so the chassis is not solid copper. :-( Also the paint on the grille was a shortlived fad in the fifties called "atomic loop". According to prr, you mixed the paint so it shot out of the gun in a string and the painter would spray loops on the cloth. From the look of the grillcloth, this was probably done on each individual piece of cloth.
