The PHILCO Phorum

Morning All, I'm getting ready to attempt to refinish this 37-610, my question is; did some of these cabinets come from the factory without the usual stripes? It doesn't look like it's ever been refinished, and there is no evidence of where stripes might have been. Maybe I'm wrong and it was totally sanded years ago, but the chassis was 100% original. Thanks in advance.

Hi Kelly,

I have a maple version without the stripes:



The finish is original as best as I can tell. This is based on the condition of the lacquer (some cracking due to age) and logo. I could also find no obvious evidence of the set having been stripped.



Another example of the 37-610T without stripes:

Thank you Nathan.
