Philco 41-280? Is it worth it?
#20

Well, I wish I had a friend who knew how to do this correctly, but I'm getting ready for the last stages of the 41-280 cabinet. The first major veneer replacement I've done. I had to replace a strip on each side and put in a patch or two trying to match the grain on the patches. It's by no means perfect, and I've got it a bit too dark overall I think, but the veneer doesn't look like a complete hack job, either. I guess I'll look at it a day or two, and decide whether to strip it and start over on grain filling and staining. Or just finish it, and move on the other radios.

Oh yeah, I repainted the worn out parts of the Photofinish. It turned out OK.
