Philco 37-116 code 121 radio acquisition
#7

Hi Ken 

How are the curved parts of the veneer on the cabinet? Any cracking? I picked up the same set about maybe 15yrs ago. If I run my hand down the front where side curves around to the front it rough. On inspection there is small cracks in it. Just wondering if yours's is like this also.
I have seen and heard of the veneer splitting at the bend at the top front panel. That's a job to fix! 

Not sure what to do about this one but probably will just clean it and give some heavy coats of lacquer then lightly sand. See what it looks like.

I service a 37-116 122 back in the '80s which I still have but it's in need of some new filer caps. It hums and motorboats. 

GL w/your new project!

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!
