Philco 15DX restoration tips?
#8

Thanks. I'd forgotten all about this thread Icon_smile I really do love this set and will fully restore it.

Here's the set after a good cleaning and a little lemon oil.

Here's a little recap of how I fixed the top.

BTW I did pick up some more appropriate butt walnut veneer for around the base. I think it will look better than the burled veneer

As for finishing it up, nope it's still sadly neglected. Back when I got it, I was rather intimidated by the chassis. That's the main reason I went to such lengths on couple other Philcos - practice.

So, when will I get around to it ? Well, first I need to wrap up a few nearly done projects including my Philco 643.
Then, for better or worse, I'm going to tackle my first Predicta TV.
I hope to finally get to this 15DX by mid to late summer.

Recently, I've also been very distracted by this acquisition. I think Ron will recognize it Icon_wink
