PT-4 - original colors? - bridkarl - 06-22-2024

I’ve gotten a PT-4 which has the Bakelite case having a big crack. After patching this I need to repaint - it’s currently a dark blue.  Most pictures I’ve found seem to show it as white/cream.

That sounds correct, either white, or an off white, dark blue was someone's custom paint job, I think that Philco put the labels on the bottom, so some of the original paint would show there, or possibly on the inside of the cabinet.

Thanks. It is an awful dark blue. I’ll be having to clean it up, patch the crack and repaint. Thankfully there seem to be no missing pieces
