Radio Cabinet Workshop #1 - Postponed
2015-04-25 09:30 - 12:00
Check back for re-scheduled date. This first class will be low on technique as that represents skills best learned by doing. Subsequent classes will be workshop oriented where students will bring in their own radios to be worked on under the guidance of our instructors. Members may bring in radios to the first class for assessment by our instructors after lunchtime, but no supervised work will take place. This class will also held in the backyard of Radio Central.

Overview and Introduction to Cabinet Restoration
2015-04-11 09:30 - 12:00
The first class will be classroom style with example radios drawn from the collection. Attendees will learn a three step method in which an important first choice is made as to pursue restoration, preservation or conservation. The class will include assessment of the existing finish and a strategy for proceeding that allows for rework if you don’t like the results. Our instructors will also go over the materials needed to be successful and how to use them safely. Emphasis will be on wood cabinets but Bakelite, plastic and metal will be covered too. A short handout will be provided.
This class is free and available only to fully paid-up members. It will take place in the open backyard at Radio Central so there will be no restriction on class size. Seating will be provided and Q&A will be encouraged. There is ample parking in the adjacent lot.
