Philco 38-8 Refinishing
#10

Let me give you a tip for next time. The next time you refinish a radio, apply the PHILCO decal right after toning and right before you begin applying clear. The decal will then become one with the clear coats and the lines of the decal will be nearly invisible...just as the originals were from the factory. Icon_thumbup I learned that when I did ny 38-624T "Big Bullet" cabinet last fall (it has a 37-640 chassis inside).
