I am finally getting around to working on the cabinet of a Philco Jr. Model 81B, that I electronically restored some time ago. Someone in the past painted it green and I am in the process of stripping that off. It is going fairly well and I hope to begin returning it to look more like the original soon.
I have a few questions however:
Thanks, Bill
I have a few questions however:
- Can anyone provide some guidance on what color stains would be best to use on this once I have finished stripping?
- Is the front grill area supposed to be a different color than the sides?
- What type of sealer or varnish should be used once stained?
- Is there supposed to be a Philco label on the front? If so, where is it to be placed and where can I get one?
- The cabinet base (looks like plywood) is coming apart. Is it possible to replace this or would it be easier to just try and glue back together?
Thanks, Bill
