37-610 dial removal
#5

Hey Kevin,
Along with what Mike posted have a look here: https://www.philcoradio.com/phorum/showt...?tid=22277

The tricky part is doing the stripes and making them level with the finish. Both doing the veneer and or painting to recreate is tedious. I've never done the veneer/inlay to recreate but have painted using several colors to achieve the proper look (or close to it). Did leather repair for abt 30 yrs and coloring process is similar.

>but it is scratched up pretty good
Sounds like an oxymoron. Is really good to be scratched up?? I digress.
If it's not too bad to you have a lot of time to kill this is what I did on a small cabinet. It will get you the basic steps to color and level it.

There was a company called "Re-faux Pro" or something like that. They have gone for a number of yrs now. Product was marginal and price was high. So you weren't missing out on anything.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
