Practicing refinishing on 37-60 front panel
#3

What most do is when looking for a set is choose one that most of the finish is intact. In this case the rest can be touched up something like this: https://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthrea...hlight=602 If most is gone and you can live with out it painting faux wood grain or using veneers/inlays to recreate the original can be done. A lot of the time the effort the work involved in this venture out paces the worth of the set.

The 1st picture the cabinet is a good candidate for touch on the panel. The crazing can be leveled by using several coats of sanding sealer and block sanding.

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!
