You're bringing them up right Pat, lookin' good!

Wow, what a neat mess. If it was me, wires would be wrapped around my head somehow. Great work by your son, and smart looking organization too. That's the way you do it. Awesome Pat.

Keeping it tight, …..nice & tidy with good secure wiring, …..Railsounds install complete. This makes a mundane postwar set have some pizzaz,….good clean install work by Brian……

Can we get sound check?……😁

Hope you have a stash of those powered motherboards, they're no longer available.

Oddly enough, that’s the one board I do have a decent stock of,…..

Onto the power unit, nothing but solid, clean workmanship, ….every piece, cleaned, inspected, re-blackened if need be, armatures surfaced, built back up with NOS brushes, and all new wiring, …..learning the art of high quality, reliable work,…

Pat

Wonderful legacy.

That's awesome!

That's going to be the cleanest and best running pair of 2343's on the planet!

Wow! Excellent job!

Can I say it?  A chip off the old block!👍😉😱😂. There I said it!  Way to go PAT and BRIAN!!

Thank fellas, ….he’s learning the art, …..back in the 70’s-80’s when my dad had his hobby shoos up & down the east coast, this old postwar stuff was it!!….this was all day, every day,…..there’d be a pile of postwar gems to pick up, take back to my shop, clean, repair, or restore…..My dad has long since retired, and Brian now does postwar, buy, sell, trade,…..it supplements his income while we’re closed for the long holiday ……here’s his final product, ……he learned how to use the machines, and tools at our disposal, to clean, glass bead, repaint, polish, & fabricate the parts needed for a nice job,……

Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship guys !

So I took a trip to Grand Central Terminal and a Christmas spirited NYC yesterday, and while swinging through Harmon, we stopped and took some video of a recently finished rebuild…

thanks!

When you said buys and sell, I didn’t think you meant like right away!

F/S Restored P/W 2343’s with new PWC 2379 shells

Well, I guess it’s one way to fund the next resto-mod.

If you do a NYC I may be in the market! 😜

Great work!

Those F's look and sound great.
