I would like to hear from someone who has made a front panel for a Philco 80 (Jr.) cabinet. I need some advice and tips for making one. I don't know if I should just make a plain front and stain it all one color or try to make veneer panels to glue on the front. Also, the speaker cone is completely missing. Electronic Express sells speaker cones but I am not sure any of them will fit. Anyone have experience with replacing one? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
