The DOCTOR is in!

After waiting in line for about two years now, one of my "patients" FINALLY has been repaired. This time, a retro radio.

My brother's headphones died...which just so happened to have a working speaker of similar size and specifications of the old one. I had to really work at getting it out. I actually ended up cutting it out with a Dremel!

After having the decorative button panel put back in, wires re-soldered, and the chrome polished...here it is! (don't hate me for the Madonna song playing, the station happened to be playing it). This radio sounds better than it did when the original speaker was in it. AMAZING!
