Philco 50 (early) cabinet restoration
#1

I’ll be starting on this cabinet shortly.  

[Image: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m2q0aihh6ktkhk....jpg?raw=1]

It’s the early version 50 that used a 70 cabinet with a re-drilled bottom.  There is some loose veneer that needs gluing before anything else but the grill cloth will need replacing so I need to get it ordered.  Here’s a shot of what was on the cabinet.

It looks a lot like Kenneth’s Whiskey Rayon (scroll down page to get to it) to me and the folks at RadioDaze have a cloth they suggest for the 70 cabinet.  I’ve bought the Whiskey Rayon but have not actually seen the RadioDaze product.  Any thoughts on which would be the best fit?  Thanks!!

If this helps you sort it out just remember 10,000 mmfd or pf = .01 mfd. So 5,000mmfd = .005 mfd.Radioroslyn — 04:23 PM
