Photo-finish repair - georgetownjohn - 11-12-2024

Hello Forum Members,
I am new to the forum and to PHILCO radios.  I want to continue to learn about antique radios so I am acquiring a 37-640 tombstone radio to restore.  
Obviously it has a photo-finish  on the front that needs a little help.  I can't find a source for a decal or overlay any longer.  Do any of you 
have any ideas?  I have seen touchup kits on Ebay.  Thanks for any input you may have.  Regards, John

Welcome to the Phorum!

Once upon a time there was a supplier for some photofinish decals but no longer that I am aware of. So it is touch it up, or try this technique found at the following link from our library: https://philcoradio.com/schooley/

Thanks for the reply Bob.  I think I will try the touchup process.  Do you have any suggestions on what I should use to cleanup the 
surface before applying the touchup products?   Thanks --John
