Philco model 90

Kirk thank you, I always appreciate any pointers on what I can do better. I see what your talking about and there is some dents but also I need to redo parts of the channels. Looks sloppy when I look closely. The spot on the arch is actually a small piece of missing veneer that the camera lighting made appear white.
Here's a couple close up pics of it and the coulombs. Thanks for pointing it out.

Did you mean the columns? Icon_lol
The coulombs are usually hidden inside the capacitors Icon_smile

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

  Icon_lol  You're right. I've got to quit reading so many radio books before bed.

Hmmm, 

  I am glad that was not a paint fleck.
The columns do look like better in your new pics.. 
I think it is a few dents that were tricking me?


I think you did a fantastic job.. Getting paint out of grains is no easy task...
