Kesrardless of the merits of the receiver, if its housing is not attractive, the chances of making the sale are relatively small. More attention to the cabinet should be given by the men who sell, if the customer is to have permanent satisfaction and enjoyment 50 of his set," declares N. P. Bloom, after twenty-five years' experience in cabinet manufacturing. Mr. Bloom recently organized the Castlewood Manufacturing Company, Louisville, Ky., of which he is president. Up to the "crash of 1929," most console cabinets cost from $20 to $35. Today, the average price is somewhere between $8 and $9, and in forcing the price down to this level many of the fundamentals of good cabinetry have been violated. In place of 5^-inch sides and panels as used in former times, some radio cabinets to day employ panels only 3/16 of an inch thick, resulting in a fragile cabinet with poor acoustical qualities. With the use of panels which are too thin, comes the grief of cupping, warping, blistering and checking of finish. The easy penetration of moisture causes most of this. In cabinets to be used for export, particularly to hot, moist climates, all surfaces, even though hidden, should have a heavy moisture-proof sealer coat, and particular attention should be given to the sealing of edges of panels where cut-outs are made.
