My first set: Philco 40-180
#25

Thanks for the speaker details, Jerry! What a clever design. Just after I asked that question, it dawned on me that I should have put that one in the electronics phorum.

I just finished with some Howard's and it did a VERY nice job! I used the Cherry colored one that I thought might be too light and it seems to be just a tad dark. Perhaps it is just the difference in the surface reflectivity that makes it look darker. I can still see where the surface of the lacquer was disturbed by whatever caused the spots, but the color match is excellent. That stuff is great!

I used an old washcloth and gently wiped it on and rubbed it in. When I was finished with the entire cabinet, I wiped it down with a dry cloth. I'll let it dry overnight to see how it looks tomorrow. I didn't have the nerve to use steel wool on the more rough spots just yet.

Now I'm torn between leaving it as it is and putting a top coat of shellac and lacquer on as you suggested. If I do spray it, does this require a spray guy for my compressor, or can you use spray cans?
