I picked up rough 37-602 cheap a yr or two ago. Most of the Philcote finish was gone. Didn't really want to buy one of those decal photofinish replacements. So a member saw a cabinet on ebay and I got it. Price was good but it has some challenges. Missing abt 10% of the photofinish and a crack in the top. Repaired the crack and re glued the frt.
Sanded the sides as I was a little apprehensive abt using a chemical stripper. Cleaned the frt and back w/mineral spirits and then gave the whole thing a few coats of sanding sealer. Sanded the p/f lightly w/400g paper. Original it had some crazing and want to level that out. Mixed up some water based acrylic paint to do the touchup work on the p/f. Using a very small brush I went after the little dings. A few more coats of sanding sealer and sanding to level it some more. Once I get the back side touched up it will be ready for toner and clear coat. The toning is for the top only not the photofinish.

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
