Painted 42-PT91
#13

It might not look that great with the paint completely stripped off, which is very difficult to do thanks to all of the cracks and crevices in the grille bars. Many of these painted cabinets were intended to be painted, with grainless Bakelite, and some were even seconds that would have discoloured patches, I had a Crosley cabinet that was like that. If this is the case you could always repaint it in some nonstandard colour rather then the ivory/off white it originally had, though I would stick to colours more in keeping with the era rather then Neon pink or something, powder blue or Burgundy would look good. The nicer ones had black Bakelite under the paint, which looks really nice polished up, if you can get the paint completely off without scratching anything.
Regards
Arran
