The HP-800 is nearing completion

Well thanks to Bobby (Fatdiggitydog) we are looking more like a complete Radio.
He created a cling from scratch for my ruined lens that I screwed up while restoring the HP.
I glued the lens back on after restoration with some highly volatile glue and melted the print right off.
The lens is the one to the right of the tape deck.
all thats left is to adhere the cling to the lens so there wont be any air bubbles in between the two. then hopefully will be done.
