Another noob with another Philco!
#8

Hi Jerry and welcome,
As mentioned the chassis looks pretty good but on the other hand the cabinet is a mess. Looking at the wrinkling of the veneer on the outside (surround) I'm thinking that the wood under it is no good either. I would disassemble the cabinet removing the surround from the baseboard and front panel. Remove the arch from the surround. Depending on your skill set fabricate a new surround or give Steve Davis a note and he could probably build a new one for you. He does excellent work and prices are reasonable. The finish that is currently on it maybe polyurethane which add a little more difficulty to remove. The rest is probably salvageable but it more that likely it would be more time/cost effective to find another cabinet while servicing the chassis.

Best of luck w/your new project!

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
