Comments:
The cabinet was re-finished by me in 1997 using the best clear and toning lacquers. Multiple coats were used with proper sanding between coats. Preparation included using grain filler prior to lacquer. There are no repairs to the cabinet or veneer which is completely tight. The result is a flawless cabinet that is absolutely beautiful and will be the proud centerpiece of any collection.
Dial
graphics on all shutters are clean and clear. The shutters operate smoothly
as does the motor tuning which has a newer old stock Zenith belt. The
chassis was completely restored including capacitors, resistors, filters
etc. in 1996. All mechanics were cleaned and lubricated. The restoration
was done by the best recognized expert in the Portland Vancouver area
, The green tuning eye was new old stock and was installed in 2004. It
is bright and sensitive. This is truly one of if not the nicest 9 tube
Waltons anywhere. As a bonus along with the radio is a framed ready to
hang 1979 issue of Peoples magazine featuring the Walton family on the
cover holding the radio model that made this a famous collector’s
item in the first place. It also showing pictures from the article inside
the magazine. As with all antique electronics it is sold as is.
