Hi All,
My son got me this Philco 37-60 Cathedral for Christmas so I decided to strip the cabinet and try to reproduce the faux finish which was on the front panel. Since no one makes the decals anymore one must do what one must do. I got the chassis and speaker playing pretty good and they are in pretty good shape now. Here's a peek at the chassis without the RF section.
Here's a peek after clean up and restoration
So I used a combination of veneer and vinyl with some inlays from Rockler and I don't think it turned out too bad. Here's what I started with
This is how it turned out
I would welcome your thoughts and critiques as I am always trying to improve.
Thanks for looking
Dick
