Default Re: F. Stephen Masek's HMV468 restoration

It is finished, looking good and playing nicely! The plastic trim (thankfully not Tenite!) is retained by wood pieces attached to the front with tiny screws. The clock board attaches to the cabinet front with five screws, then small wood pieces are attached to it and to the cabinet top an sides with another 20 wood screws. The diamonds on the clock face are attached to the parallel rails with tiny screws. I still need to make a back. The power to our house was running high today, as I measured 250 volts going into the radio from my 120 - 240 transformer.
