I picked up this Firestone radio at an antique shop for $20, which seemed pretty reasonable. I love the woodwork on the radio, with the curved front and intricate grille cutouts. The dial is in great shape, as are the knobs. The finish, however, will need to be redone. This radio has a photo-finish decal on the front, mimicing several different styles of wood including a nice burled walnut. I wanted to try out a couple of different restoration tactics on a photo-finish set, so this will be my guinea pig. One idea is to scan the photo-finish into a computer, edit it, then print it out and reattach it. The other option would be to recreate it using actual veneers. I'll have to give it some thought before I tackle this one.

Electronically, the cord is very bad on the radio, so I have not plugged it in to check it out.
