Philco PT-4
#3

The Kitchen Radio......!

That back is available online. 
Interesting bit of trivia is that the finished bakelite cabinet would have to pass inspection to qualify as a brown cabinet. Once in a while a cabinet would come along on the inspection line that didn't quite meet the standards. If the cab was physically perfect most likely the culprit was a bad mix of liquid bakelite. Looks-wise the cab was a mess of colors. 

Hence, the White Kitchen Radio.

If you have to strip the cab....look for it.

Good luck with the project and all of us here are expecting a full report when you're finished.
