Default 'Basket case' radio restorations to admire!

A chum who isn't on the forum sent me this link to some splendid Stateside 'basket case' restorations:

https://antiqueradios.com/forums/vie...p?f=1&t=337893

They put my own humble efforts into perspective!

I especially like the two 'Wilcox-Gay' sets.

Hope the thread' at the above link is of interest - maybe even inspiration.

They are a bit more than a quick going over with Mr Sheen. Huge sets some of them.

Now that is what I call restoration! American sets always look so much more interesting than our offerings.

Looking at the warm sheen finish on a lot of those I wonder whether Danish oil was used

Wow! Even I might have looked at some of those and said ‘not a chance!’ I am quite fond of taking on basket cases, I find them quite rewarding!
