Philco 20 base toner color
#1

I'm looking for suggestions for the appropriate Mohawk toner lacquer color for the base of a Philco model 20. Also wondering about the correct cabinet tone, should I decide to venture that far,

Thanks,

Mike

There seems to have been quite a bit of variation in the finish of the Philco 20 cabinets. Some 20 cabinets were toned pretty much the same color over all, including the base, while others had dark shading around the edges. Many of the cabinets that had the edges shaded, had the dark shading on the base also. Since I don't use aerosol toners, I will leave that for others to answer. Ron?

Eric (MrGrnEgz), I noticed that the base on your cabinet is a little rough. I think Ron has a set that he would like to sell.

I'd like to talk to Ron. TBH, I'm not sure who Ron is quite yet, but please let him know I'd like him to PM me.

Thanks Icon_smile
