Philco 21 sort of
#8

Hi Steve
Thanks for your kind offer! And the worm's eye view of the construction of the front arch. Kinda figured that it was constructed like that but never taken one apart (generally I try to find project sets that don't need major cabinet/veneer repairs). I'm curious how surround is built and fitted to the front arch and columns. I assume that there is a groove cut in to the back edge of the arch and columns for it to fitted and glued in w/hide glue. I also remember reading that on some (indiscriminately) the grain on the surround would be applied vertically or horizontally. Which is better?

Actually something I would be interested in is some edge trim for an 18MX, might have asked you abt this a number of years ago. Here's a pic of Nathan's set. I don't remember how much is missing but it's a fair amount, the cabinet is sort of buried in storage.

The 70 cab is about done - the front panel. A few more sandings and coats of clear and it done.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
