That's great John! Of course, I can't speak for Ron, but I'm sure Sue will be very happy with a mounted CD player for all those "remember when" tunes Ron so likes to play...
Ron can't get a clock? What's with that? Sue won't let him have one?  Keep up the great work there John, it's good to see you playing with boat stuff! Frank |

ron if you like i can upholster and paint it,it should look good,i hope,lol,lol,john.i was going to put the stainless on but it would be like looking into a mirror of the underside of your seat,and i would also have to use some trim around the edges so you wouldnt get cut,its all up to you but if i cover the sides with vinyl its less sanding lol.john

John
The reason I was asking is I have a oscillating spindle sander that I got at Home Depot that I use on my radius cuts. It is a Ryobi, I caught it on sale for $100. I cut with my bandsaw, then finish with it. Fast and easy. Not trying to coach here, just passing info on a cool tool. It is a time saver. Neil |

brian, maybe i'll try and have it repaired as i don't think i will find one. i found a few new ones i like (white face) but they are surface mounts.

ron you might be better off with a surface mount,it will be tough to cut out the hole for the other kind at this stage,it will still look good,i think you will like it.
neil yeah that would be fantastic to have ,i will put it on my christmas list,it would make this easier,john |

The one I have is a surface mount Airguide. It needs chroming and repair, but is a vintage classic. Face and bezel are fine. I wound it last weekend, but no go.

well,it got here its engine turned aluminum vinyl,its guarenteed to last outside for 2 to 5 years,so it will work great for a boat that isnt outside constantly,even if it was it should last 2 years,if you like it ron let me know,im putting it in one or two of my boats,john

Ron - I'll give the clock to Frank. Do you and John need a diameter for planning purposes? Face and bezel are fine, needs chrome and a repairman. I forget what this came off, may have been my Crosby Ranger. Good luck with it. I'm liking the console!!
