Just bought Philco 38-10 and PT-3
#3

I was just thinking that the "Philcote" faux graining on those PT-3s looks like someone made it with a graining tool, at least from a distance. As I mentioned to Stephen on the other radio forum if it were mine I would strip it down, sand it, dye that bland wood with an aniline wood dye of choice, lacquer over it, then add a faux grain with either paint or ink.
Speaking of which did these sets use an electrodynamic oval speaker? Would it be the same type as the one in a 42-327? I was just thinking that Philco probably had a Bakelite version of this set and a smashed example may supply a few parts.
Best Regards
Arran
