Total Loss - Philco Photo Finish - Options
#8

I did a quick electronic repair to to 37-620 that had a replacement decal applied to it. Was not very impressed with it. The color was too red, detail was muddy, and as mentioned it was loosening at the edges. I guess it's better than the base wood. I've a 37-602 one of those double side pf table top set that is beat with only about 30 percent of the original left. The decals for it fairly pricey at $42. May try my hand at some veneer magic.

Like yours much better! colors are much brighter and the detail is sharp. Like it better than the original.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
