This very uncommon Philco 14 LZX chairside is going thru a total refinish job along with its hard to find rare speaker cabinet. I always thought this model would never come my way but last Sargent auction there it was so I bid on it and won at a low price. Now the fun begins restoring this find radio set up. The walnut burl on the radio top area has to be replaced which shouldn't be a problem, the speaker cabinet top was also messed up and will be replaced with Straight walnut like it was from factory. I love the real wood inlay that is present on this radio speaker set up, sure beats that photo finish that was used a lot on other radios. I took the speaker apart and the radio cabinet for this job. It will look factory new when I'm done with it, stay tuned for updates and plenty of pictures. Next weekend I will apply the veneer and possibly finish the job sometime sunday evening. The chassis will go thru all electrical work and I do have it playing at this time , still need to do a tune up and alignment, I hope radio daze has the dial scale this one is broken, this dial is printed up side down from other model 90 chassis because the way you sit next to radio it had to be made that way. Maybe radio daze could just reverse the print before they stamp it, and this one has 1 short wave band also. I believe the speaker cabinet had a back cover at one time because of the screw holes that are present, does anybody have a picture of what its suppose to look like?
