FStephenMasek's Philco 116B restoration - funny - FStephenMasek - 05-23-2017

So, Rima and I were in Yucaipa a few years with time to kill, so visited an antique/junk shop.  Word that I was looking at radios must have been transmitted, as a guy came running down the street carrying this Philco 116B, and I bought it.  Yep, I'm working on two 11-tube Philcos at the same time (the other is the 112).
There was some missing and damaged black veneer and some damaged normal walnut veneer.  I found some strips of black veneer and used some veneer salvaged from some old cabinet to make the repairs.  I also did a few glue, overlap patch, clamp firmly, sand-down repairs.  This is the current status:

The chassis was repaired before, likely in 30s-40s - the two caps in the lower right are replacements.
