Maybe a Frankenstein, but a pretty one! Question about the "dentil"-looking inlay at the bottom of the front panel. Is that actually a faux finish, or is it really wood inlay? If it's a faux finish, did you do any restoration on it?

Nice work in the grill. The speaker cloth matches the grill pattern. Very nice finished radio.
