This really is a resto. Never gone this far before but it's saved a pretty rare set from the bin. Thanks for all the positive comments; appreciated

That case looks super nice. Where did the vinyl come from?
I built a S/C case & covered in Ebay sticky backed vinyl but it's nowhere as nice as that.
You've inspired me to fix my Aristo-Craft Challenger 720 which isn't really retro (or a particularly highly rated radio) but is the first radio I REALLY wanted after seeing a guy fly a Buzzard Bombshell in the local park when I was around 11-12 years old..

Hi Al,
I used this seller on AliExpress.
The adhesive wasn't great on the vinyl so I sprayed it and tx case with a very strong contact adhesive. I used a heat gun on the corners but didn't over stretch it as it could potentially shrink back.
Cheers,
Shaun.
