Restoring cabinet Philco 60. Need color references.
#2

Welcome back, Syl! Icon_biggrin

Please take a look at this page, and then tell me exactly which 60 cabinet you have.

http://www.philcoradio.com/tech/60evol.htm

I can then tell you what the original colors should be. Most (not all) of the radios pictured on that page are in their correct original-type color combinations.

I wouldn't be surprised if that radio had been in an environment with a heavy smoker, or many heavy smokers. As it happens, I am finishing up a Model 60 chassis from a Radiobar; and the chassis was covered in nicotine stain. It's amazing what a little Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish can do with coil shields, tube shields, and the electrolytic capacitor cans - they went from dark amber to shiny aluminum.

But anyway - it's great to see you here again! Icon_clap
