Default Re: Restoring my old Soviet radios

Well, the Selena is already working, electronically-wise. Now it is time for carpentry, which is the most difficult task for me (lack of skills and lack of suitable tooling). The wooden framework is not complete so I have to build a couple of parts to complete it. Soviet used wood to make the framework of the Selena, by some unknown reason, they should know :aaq . I think that plastic or bakelite would had been better, but they should know.

Carpentry is something that I don't do very well. I lack the suitable tooling for that so I do my best with what I have at hand. Here I show a picture with the only two parts that I have of the framework and the other two that I made to complete the framework.

Originally, it was glued, but I used bolts to fix it. Not so orthodox (or beautiful), but it works.

I have also posted a picture of the first two radios restored (or something ) during this adventure.
