Fairbanks-Morse model 58T1 retrofitted with magic eye.
This set was in mediocre shape. I looked at it and could picture a magic eye tube in the upper right corner of the set.
I restored the chassis and tested my circuit. I replaced the dial lamps with lower current ones and added three lamps to indicate band selection.
I repaired some veneer chips and cut the holes for the magic eye and the band indicator lamps.
I had to carve out part of the inside of the case for proper fit of the magic eye.
the escutcheon was from an Amphenol 56-MEA8 kit, and resembled the style of the dial escutcheon. I am happier with the new appearance of this set, despite the fact that it is no longer original.
