This particular radio I have had since 93-94. It was under the seat of an 1972 Cheyenne Super truck I bought years back. The dial wouldn't switch from AM to FM, so I pulled the faceplate off to see it I could at least get it to work, but the cord was broken. Well I just left it on my work bench for many years until recently. I had misplaced the screws that held the faceplate on and one of the volume control nuts,it had over spray on it, even on the lens etc. Jerry was a little scared to buff the Lens, but it came better than he anticipated it would. I haven't hooked it up yet as I don't have an usable speaker here, but I am really happy with the overall appearance.

Thanks to everyone for all the references and recommendations. I am sure the other places / people do great work too, I just felt confortable going with Jerry.

From my experience I definitely recommend Jerry and will use him again in the future.

Thanks to member (dads longhorn) for recommending Electrodesign.

Here are a couple pictures. I didn't have anything replated.

Thank,
Ray



Always good to find new sources for these trucks
