Refinishing Antique Radio Cabinets

You can do it yourself.

Refinishing antique radio cabinets. It is easy to apply fairly forgiving with mistakes and is impervious to anything. Please try again later. Once you have removed all loose or important items from the cabinet vacuum the dust out. It does not require advanced equipment or.

There are a lot of articles on the internet about repairing and restoration of vintage radios but most of them concern repairing electronics. Lots of radios however fall between the really bad and the perfect. In this article i focus on the restoration of the wooden radio cabinet. A simple cabinet refinishing will start at 495 with an average cost at around 700.

Why should i not use polyurethane finish on radio cabinets. If large areas of the finish are gone and discolored you may have to strip and refinish the cabinet. A restored radio is a beautiful component of a retro style room. I have found knobs screws receipts mouse bones and even antique toys inside old radio cabinets.

Old radio cabinets are evocative reminders of a simpler age when master storytellers did the first half of the work and your imagination supplied the rest. This feature is not available right now. Ok so your radio cabinet looks bad and it needs some sort of work. Usually made of wood veneerswhich are simply thin slices of real wood laid over cheaper or less attractive woodantique radio cabinets are a graceful whimsical and nostalgic addition.

Some radios use sheets of friable asbestos under or above the chassis.
