Ron's Cabinet Work for the 2018 Season
#66

Bonus 2018 Cabinet: Model 41-246T

I still haven't stripped my 41-KR cabinet, but I did remember this 41-246T from five years ago.

This particular Philco was a Phorum community effort, with one Phorum member furnishing a speaker for the chassis and another, a loop antenna and an unbroken escutcheon which I managed to get most of the warps out of.

I had gone as far as the first few coats of clear lacquer on this cabinet, then it was set aside for our cross town 2013 move - and forgotten until now.

So today, I finally applied the decals...

Back in 2013, I had not yet discovered that decals look better when they are applied right after toner and before the first coat of clear lacquer. Oh well, it will still look better than it did to begin with.

Later this week, it will receive more clear lacquer (to protect the decals). Then it will be wet sanded, and two final coats of clear will be applied and this one will then be finished.
