Philco 640 Cabinet Refinishing Chronicles
#43

Here are some photos showing the interior of the cabinet after I stained it with MinWax Ebony oil stain. I think it looks a lot better than it did before:

Here are the two labels. As I mentioned before, I tried to save the label with the model number and chassis but it just flaked off on the loose areas when I tried to glue it back. I will probably hit this with clear lacquer to help preserve what is left. At least the model number is still visible. The other label that indicates run # (Run #1) was fine.

And here is a question. How do you guys go about adding color to the edges of the grill cutouts shown below? When I stripped the cabinet I noticed that there was definitely a dark color there. Probably the same color as the top and sides. Masking and spraying from the inside is one option but I wanted to know if you guys have any other suggestions.
