Request for opinions on model 60B restoration
#2

Hi

Welcome to the Phorum!

Philco cabinets were not originally stained, they were sprayed with tinted lacquer.

Model 60B sets were made in four different cathedral cabinets, and one tombstone. I can only think of one that should be all one color, and that is the very late version (January 1936) 60B. This one is also much plainer than the others.

If you cannot post pictures here, please send them to me (mrphilco AT philcoradio DOT com). I try to discourage hosting pictures via my website, but sometimes I make exceptions if it will help someone out.

Grille cloth should be tight, no wrinkles or ripples.

Let's see those pictures and then those of us here can make a determination of what you have. OK? Icon_smile
