This is my first post here. I have a Philco 16B Tombstone (pictured in Ron's Philco book on page 45 - lower left hand corner). Someone stripped this one prior to my getting it and they refinished it in light stains. I am looking to restore it to its original color combination. What were the original stain colors/shades used on it? Is there a picture that shows all sides of the tombstone cabinet, with correct finish, that someone can point me to?

Thanks,

Terry

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM

You would probably be replacing the OPT.RodB — 10:54 AM
