the ones I have.

Try an Aquarian American Vintage head. They are slightly oversized.

Syringe, glue, clamps, and something to put on the ring and the shell to keep the clamps from smashing and leaving imprints.

If you want, I don't know where it Texas you are, but you can send it to me and I will fix the rings and send it back to you. I won't charge you anything except for shipping.

Cya,

Mike

Or, I can take some pics of the supplies and an example and you can give it a whirl, it's really not too difficult.

The ply seperation is very common on old radio kings, and as I first asked you was your shell in round, 30's and 40's radio kings are almost all out of round, I haven't seen one yet that is! but the ply seperation is an easy fix, and yes sand down the old fiinsh and re stain it!!
