The PHILCO Phorum

Ok, 
The front had a design of flowers but that was easily removed.
The one side has a veneer lift that someone glued but it was not level so it sanded through the toner.
I would love to spot repair it but that is up to Sam.

I will strip it down and re-tone it tomorrow..

See Sam, It's not all about Mike 

Terry, Yours is so buried that I will not get to it for a month or 2..

Kirk
You started working on it 
so I'm not letting you off easy 


I'll leave up to Ron as he did chassis 
And will take pic. 
To add to phorum gallery 

The mean me

I am taking full advantage of this day!

I got up at the butt crack of dawn and started on these 4 cabinets... 
I ended up stripping off the side finish as the sanding was too deep for me to color match.
I re-toned it and am now clearing the whole cabinet!

Decal is all gone Sam!

Still looks like it's there???

Terry

hmm can you put flower decal back on.  it looked better

The M-22 is a 2.9v crystal so it will probably be best to rebuild it..
I dont have any done right now sorry.
Me

Done 99%
I cant rot or buff out the finish. The curing process needs mucho time so you will have to wax it up in a fe weeks Sam.
