The front-facing wood on the crown doesn't look original. The original has a tendency to flake off and mine will take a lot of delicate restoration work.
I picked up my Philco grandfather clock three weeks ago for $150 and I'm in the final stages; a battery clock mechanism (from Klockit) should be arriving any day. The dial on mine had aged quite dark, slightly greenish; I scanned it and did a full "restoration" with PhotoShop CS2. The new dial has been printed on a heavy stock at Staples. I can send the file to you if you like.
After recapping and replacing all of the resistors the Model 70 radio works beautifully!
