I could not take the top so I ripped it off. It did not come off whole so it will need to be glued up but at least it will be solid when I am done and I can fill it properly.
i think would have looked good stained
Original! Must be original...
Cant stain it now anyway...

I say paint it white as it should be.
This said, I'd never buy a radio like this.
I cannot stand white paint on furniture.
I bought this house with white painted kitchen cabinets. First thing I did was replacing them with cherrywood ones.
I could actually stain this radio since the repair came out very good. You can hardly notice it now that I have sanded off all the glue and filler residue.
The pic is of it before i sanded off the excess filler.
Of course I will still paint it even though the wood is beautiful. It will have to match the Philco refrigerator I buy later in life.
Oh now I dont know!!! Tone or paint?
Thanks Sam
its a philco so you know what will happen if you stain it
here let me help OOHH captain ron
Ask questions first, sho...stain later. (or paste decals)
Took the cabinet outside today and added the appliance epoxy. Looks like a new Fridge. Tomorrow I will put her back together and wait for my fridge to come to me
Looks great Kirk, you can see now why I painted mine an antique white/ivory as to better match the aging of the knobs and dial pointers.
tone tone tone
Yeah I see what you mean Todd. I thought about it but maybe ill soak the knobs in bleach for a week or so.
No toner for you Sammy boy....
now she sits on my finished shelf to cure while waiting for a place in the library
Kirk, I'm not sure about that model but the 42kr has a silver rectangle decal with black letters that is more of a sticker than a decal. To make one I painted a piece of printer paper with silver paint then I found the right font and printed it with my computer, I ran it through a few times so the letters would be bold and deep black, then I cut it to size and used spray adhesive to apply it.
