Finally finished - a Philco 650B
#21

You Never have to apologize to me Ron,

I know that wasn't directed AT me. Icon_smile Heck, all we been through so far in the last months, you can call me a "box of Fruit Loops" Icon_lol & I'll still hang on your every word when it comes to these Philcos. Icon_wink

I don't see why you really want to see a white faced 650B? I did remove the flaking paint off the sides & top. I think it was latex & it still has a milkish white residue. Don't want to sand or steel wool it down any farther, for fear of breaking through the veneer. Icon_eek Also don't want to try to use any chemicals for fear of saturating the residue into the veneer more. Icon_rolleyes

As a matter of fact I just perused the 1st half of the gallery this afternoon thru about '35. Big discussion going on at ARF discussion forum about TAForbes 116H !! Icon_crazy I usually don't get into these conundrums. Now someone from AZ says he has one!! Icon_eek yeah right Icon_crazy SHOW ME the picture. 8)

I've already posted twice, was thinking I was going to have to pull my foot out of my mouth. Icon_smile Then John directed me to the thread in here, 4-15-11 & I read your comments
WHEW, Please go over there & read it & give me some back up Icon_lol Icon_lol Icon_lol I still feel I'm the ONLY ONE making the Good Judgement call. Icon_biggrin

Talk atcha later,
Lloyd
