Philco 16B#2
#1

This is the parts set I bought and decided to rehab it. Have been slowly working on the cabinet in the background. It was about as bad as the first one but didn't have the deep scratches all over it. Here's some picks as found.

So far I've just about got the top ready to go back together and have plugged the hole in the front. There was a lot repairing tongue and groove joints as they were broken apart down the left side and on the top.
The top center section you can see from the back and top that the grooves are cracked in 4 places. Work is somewhat laborious gluing small narrow strips of veneer to the tongues to rebuild them. Oh and some delamanation to the front panel.

Was a little burned out from the last 16B so have been taking it easy on this one. Haven't done much at all w/the chassis. Spkr has no paper so Rich will be getting it in the future.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got it!
