I just finished up one of the (2) Philco 38-116's I bought recently. I didn't need 2 of them, but I couldn't say no to the second one for $50.00. I have to say, I'm blown away with the sound of it. It truly is an amazing performer. I'm planning to finish the second one up at a later date, but I'll be using this one as my main player until then. I'm also posting some pics of a Philco 665X I did a while back. The escutcheon is repainted with gloss black, which is too shiny. I should have used semi-gloss, or satin. I'll remember for the next one.
