Ron's Cabinet Work for the 2018 Season
#1

Here we go again with (hopefully) another marathon of cabinet refinishing while the weather is still warm.

This year's candidates are:

A Philco 16B tombstone, a Philco 66B tombstone, an RCA T7-5 tombstone, a Philco 41-KR (which I started on in 2013 and didn't finish stripping), an RCA 6T2 tombstone, and a Philco 91B cathedral.

I may not get all of these done this year. But if I get most of them done, I may add more to the queue.

The 91B cabinet will present quite a challenge...

Something, likely a rodent, has chewed on this cabinet at some time in the past. I hope I can fix this in some way or another.

In addition to this damage, the front panel has a fair amount of damage as well.
