Welcome to the Phorum!
Icon_wave

It sounds like the original has some serious flaws...if you've got the shop and skills, I'd make a new one.  Alternatively you can touch base with Phorum member Steve Davis.  He's been making reproduction cabinets for quite awhile.  See: http://www.philcoradio.com/davis.htm

Since your two threads are about the cabinet for the same 70, I've merged them into one thread to keep the topic together. You can modify the orginal title if you like to something like... Philco 70 cabinet questions or something similar..

again..welcome!
Cheers,
Bob
