Hello Forum Members,
I am new to the forum and to PHILCO radios. I want to continue to learn about antique radios so I am acquiring a 37-640 tombstone radio to restore.
Obviously it has a photo-finish on the front that needs a little help. I can't find a source for a decal or overlay any longer. Do any of you
have any ideas? I have seen touchup kits on Ebay. Thanks for any input you may have. Regards, John
