The PHILCO Phorum

Here's a summary of the restoration done on a 59c cabinet.

As received:

Stripped:


Toned and a couple lacquer coats:


Decal on...almost done:


Done and on the shelf (the grill cloth shows a bit too green in this particular light but in reality has a more golden tone to it...its from Kenneth Richmonds offerings):

Shiny!

Think that's good or bad?

I think it looks great Bob, keep up the good work.

Don't get the big head <wink>, but Paul Sanders does what I consider one of the better refinishing jobs around and yours looks pretty close to his:

Nice work on a neat little set!

Good OR BAD?

I think my little thumbs up says it all,

I say, the shinier the better!

Ok well, not always, My bald spot is shiny and I don't like that but for radio finishes I like them original or like the day it was put on the store shelf.

A+ job

Thanks for the comments guys. I keep learning from each one of these I work on and a lot of that is from this Phorums comments and threads or conversations with Phorum members. Have to get back to the 39-25 that needs attention.

wow I like it
