Thanks for great replies


I think I need to assume it’s still alive with worm and treat it according just be safe etc. Yes it may just turn into a pile of dust LOL. I’m trying to look into some of the salvage websites and restorations some people like this vintage wood. There are paint on chemical treatments that soak into the wood and make it go hard etc. If it’s really bad I was thinking of laying fibre glass on the inside so it in effect has a new internal support structure. It’s very much an experimental project. I just really like the distress of the finish on this radio. I will keep you all posted etc

I know a bit about woodworm etc but I just read a long thread article on here, even where evidence is produced there appears to still be widespread disagreement etc. Some say furniture beetle is happy in dry timber. Have to see how it goes a bit of charring May add to the effect etc.



Thanks Regards Chris
