Looks totally amazing. Great job. I find that the best place for radio speaker cloth is an upholstery shop. A lot of sofa and chair colors look just like old radios. And their scrap bin always has pieces larger than I need. I will usually bring them back a box of pastries or some treat for thanks.
Oh my goodness, we own something very similar to that but luckily it is in excellent condition with all of the workings still inside the radio. My husband inherited it.
Another AWESOME job there, Ross!! Being the antique radio enthusiast that I am, I'm now wishing I could see that beautiful cabinet, with it's cleaned & fully restored Radio Chassis & Speaker, all installed, lit up, & playing!! 😊 Ron Abilene, TX.
Very well done Ross, i love the fact that you went with original shellac finish. I'm working on a 1937 RCA-Victor 87-K at the moment which needs about the same work except the top didn't need to be totally replaced just a few pieces of veneer to transplant in place, i was lucky enough to have a similar scrapped cabinet i could take the veneer from though. Thank's for sharing, be well.
Nice job sir it’s nice to see someone taking the time to bring the radio cabinet to it former glory l am a bench joiner my self and have done jobs like this but never radio cabinet you get a lot of satisfaction when you have finished your job well done 👍 stay safe 👏👏
Your furniture restoration work is amazing. I think about recommending your channel to a friend who works with the maintenance of old radios and he has a radio from the 50s, but without the box that protected it, in this case it could fit inside the furniture. But I was surprised to learn that they still manufacture the speaker protection screens, due to the lack of specific material here, we use fabrics to cover upholstery. Now about the original speaker, I'm thinking because, at least here in Brazil, large-size low-impedance speakers (characteristic of short-wave and medium-wave radios) were no longer manufactured in the 1980s. get a recovery from this radio.
It looks great, Ross; very chic indeed. I like the pale accoustic fabric contrasted with the dark finish. Looking forward to the second video. See you soon.
Incredible transformation! A question, on the trim are you using a dye base or semi-transparent stain ? I am restoring a Philco bullet and am looking for guidance on adding some contrast in the trim. I think in my case the trim is popular, it has little grain.
Very nice. I did something similar last year only it was a record player cabinet from the same era. Mine wasn't in as bad of shape, but yours turned out much nicer. The difference between an artist, and one that isn't I guess. I thought that grill was pretty damaged, and it looks beautiful. The lighter fabric really makes the grill pop. I suppose you could have dyed the fabric?
It’s beautiful. Well done! I was just thinking how I hadn’t seen a video from you in some time. Good to hear that you’re busy even if we aren’t seeing videos, but miss seeing your videos. Hope you’ll be posting more soon. I’m glad the owner still HAS the RADIO AND SPEAKER. It amazes me how many assume because you don’t have the insides (the radio and speaker) that they think that they don’t exists, even though you said that the owner has them. I would of preferred a darker speaker material but as you included the original material in the cabinet and also as you mentioned they can still replace it. I’m curious can that material be dyed. I know that it would be a lot of work and would be easier to just order it but can it be dyed just the same? Thanks for posting, hope to see more videos soon!
It's always a good day when Ross Taylor woodworks posts

Ross mentioned in the beginning that the owner had taken out the guts of the radio and speaker before bringing it to him. It is beautiful.
the radio slides in and the speaker just hangs on hooks , likely just going to be for show
Nice job
Это восхитительная работа.А вы супер.реставрация изумительная
Impressed!
This will be brought back to life in no time....
This made me a happy guy.

Really nice job
The transformation is startling. Hit it out the park...again my friend.
Lookin good Ross great job, have a nice day !!!

Looks beautiful. The fabric looks good too.
Looks great!
Wonderful
Mr. Taylor, that piece is the epitome of trash to treasure! Great job, Sir.
SO inspiring!
I really like the touch of white with the new fabric. It's not original but it looks good.
How many times do you find these things but so damaged. I didn’t think they could be brought back to life like this. Great job
Beautiful job!!! Love watching your videos for tips and tricks!!
Very nice! :)
Amazing
Very nice job!

Another great job❣ Is there any job that would worry you? You are a master at your craft. 🤓
Wow

yes that is a possibility
Cabinet is beautiful. Can’t say I like the light tan acoustic fiber though. I think it jumps out at you too much. Did the client OK it?
yes it was fine , it is something that can be easily changed .
@@rosstaylorwoodworking728 thanks

i don't think the radio is functional , just be for show
@@rosstaylorwoodworking728 oh! That’s too bad 🤨
I'll buy it.....
The whole cabinet looks great! What kind of brush do you use for the stain?
What did you strip the old finish with I could not hear it ?
CITRUS STRIP
Couldn’t you have dyed the fabric?
possibly
I think the beige fabric lifts the whole look of the piece. It makes the fret work standout. Just beautiful.
How not to make a restore video. Nice work tho.
OK, WHAT IS T S P ???????

I don't understend beacouse there are some segments without sound in this video.
