Hi Tim Childers,Have you checked the VAC home page pictures? I haven't done that recently, but do recall some interior shots of vintage dinettes. I'll take you some time to look through the caravan pictures to find them. Also, you might want to look at Jim Dumyer's pictures: < http://www.oldengine.org/members/jdunmyer> He made up a dinette from scratch and seeing those pictures could help you recreate an idea of what yours looked like - just from seeing how he positioned his latches. Who knows, you may end up fabricating a dinette to match your latches (or do something else). A millwork shop can make up a classy dinette table to match a cupboard door you bring in as a sample. Coax is easy to run if you feed one end without a connector. Then, any holes you need to drill have only the diameter of the cable. I've run coax is several vintage Airstreams and always snake it as close as I can to the wall and along the floor behind cabinets, under beds. I use a lot more cable than one might anticipate. When I estimate the length, I triple what would be "as the crow flies." Radio Shack has some neat tools for installing connectors. I keep a separate tool box for those, for the printed directions and an old parts catalog. There are too many details to have everything memorized. A little help with reminders is useful to me. Tim, I added a subject line to your posting. It's easy to overlook doing that. I'm not being critical or condescending. Subject lines are very helpful for filing or sorting (so we can read all of postings on one topic before starting on another subject). |
