Philco 70 cathedral restore
#2

I now have the cabinet stripped, not as nice as I thought, cracked veneer and a chunk missing .( not good ) .The new reproduction front control panel fits like a glove, thanks to Steve Davis for his precision craftsmanship in making the exact duplication for the Philco 70 and other Philco models including complete cabinets Icon_eek . With the new grill cloth and refinish job this old relic will reside among other fine Philco radios from the 1930,s here at the Fred Taylor museum of fine radios located in great city of Garland tx. Icon_clap Icon_clap Icon_clap Icon_clap Icon_clap Icon_clap Will post more high quality photos as progress resumes on this relic of the past. Icon_eek
