Thank you sir!

Nice job, I followed, Bill, Doug & Larry here! LOL! You're not the only one waiting on that BDST! LOL

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

I know, right!? Waiting with baited breath. Thanks for watching!

Gregg. New Subscriber! I just found your channel this evening, whilst looking for Bakelite polishing videos. I just purchased a 1948 Zenith 7H820Z radio today, that I had been looking at for 3 weeks at "Tader Bucks" in Crawfordsville Indiana. Paid $20 for it and the Bakelite is in EXCELLENT condition. No breaks, chips or cracks. Just needs a good buffing and polishing. Anyway, like your channel and your style man! BTW. I was born and raised in Champaign County, we weren't all that far from each other. Good Channel! Patrick

[@johnnytacokleinschmidt515]

Radio looks great! As for your reception how about a nice random wire up off the ground? God Bless

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Thanks for watching! It actually does really well with the loop antenna.

Today is Sunday and your video played all the way through! So it must have been a YT glitch, be looking forward to the AIR-KING video.

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Thanks Bill, I finished the AirKing today. I should get the video up tomorrow night.

[@old64goat]

I will be looking forward to it.

[@hammiddd]

Fancy. Congratulations.

[@amaraltimimi4106]

really nice work 👍

[@michaeldellacava]

Not sure you are aware but some bakelite products contained asbestos in the past.

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Thanks Michael, no I was not aware, but now I am so I'll keep that in mind on any future projects.

[@iamhe999]

next time lay a soft bath towel on the bench-top instead of dragging the bakelite around on a hard surface.... nice job!

[@drdave337]

Hadn't thought of that. What kind of buffing wheel is that?

[@old64goat]

The video will not play past 19:14 Nice job on the cabinet.

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Thanks Bill, I'll have to watch and see what's up, it played all the way to the end before I loaded it.

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Bill I'm not sure why you didn't get it all, but I just watch it in it's entirety, so it appears to be ok, Thank you though.

[@old64goat]

It has to be YT, every other video played fine. I have had problems like that a year or so back, I even set your video on 144P and it still would not play beyond 19:14

[@Backtothefutureradios]

Very nice Gregg! I didnt have any problems playing the video...Apparently, there is something going on with KZbin.....not sure what Bill is watching the video on....as you remember I asked you the other day, A viewer had trouble watching mine past 25:43, I still have trouble with me watching mine past that on my iPhone...I rebooted my iPad, and it would play....Take Care--Larry

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Thanks Larry!
