The 6S229 has a photo finish on the front and sides so you have to be careful when buying one.  I've touched up imperfections on them with stains that turned out OK, but finding one in pristine condition is hard, and if it is very bad I'd shy away from it.  Maybe that guy making new photo finish decals for Philco's will eventually make one for the 6S229:
