Wow, yes looking good!! Well I suppose your done being that there's no more mods to do on that one....I got an 800c I think is asking for some love like this.
Calgary , Alberta.Hmm, Alberta, CA? Is that east or west of Saskatchewan? Now if you were in BC...! Thanks, Fuxtor. If you're ever in the neighborhood and feel like draggin' 40 pounds of Fisher, sure, c'mon over. Actually there is one more on my ToDo list and that's the "improve bass" mod although I've been advised not to do it. I like my bass punchy though. Also I can't stand those trimmers I put on my IBAM board. It's a hassle getting the mini screwdriver in the slots and keeping it there. I made a 2nd IBAM board which I'm considering. Oh, and I have one more AR-2Ax to restore.
In a recent visit to an antiques store, I saw an old Emerson AM radio with a bakelite front and wood panels maybe from the 30's or 40's, tubes of course. I can't find that model anywhere online so I'm thinking it might be rare and hence collectible (though I can't imagine anything with only AM as being collectible). I was thinking that might be a relatively easy project to restore for this here amateur.

Dave451... Oh, I'm not aware that there is anything other than the filaments that glow in a tube. What else glows?
