619:First off they have Uniden boards and the quality of the parts and assembly was fantastic.You could max out and modify these radios without worry of over driving the internal components.Some of these radios are still in service and still very loud and clear. |

Here's wishing you luck on your restoration.That old girl is probably twenty years old. |

619,
Since that radio is built on the "DX" chassis you may be able to get new covers for it to make it look new. I have seen chrome ones even, but the black are plentiful as well.
The meters are a dime a dozen and you should be able to find one as well.
