Restoring cabinet Philco 60. Need color references.
#8

Hi Arran,

The cabinet has been cleaned, What you see in the picture is a clean, very dark cabinet!

I guess I will refer to pictures available on Ron's website and work from there. The wood really look like it was stained. Strange. I'll strip it sometime this week-end and post pictures before and after lacquering.

The sound of this radio is surprising. Big full sound. I'll try to find room on my office desk. I've been switching radios every 2 weeks at the office. Most if not all have never seen an antique radio, much less a "playing" antique radio..."hey, where's the FM?"...[grin]
