Another unfortunate illustration of Scott's infamous flash chrome plating, if only they had triple plated it like the car manufacturers did back then. The cabinet on this set was perfectly fine, no lifting veneer, warpage, or other signs of moisture and water damage but the chrome plating still has rusted through and bubbled off in places.
For some reason most of the Philharmonics seem to be housed in Warrington cabinets, same with the Phantom series, it most have been the default cabinet option when these were sold. By the way, did anyone notice the pattern in the grille cloth?
Regards
