40-150 finished-- almost!
#5

I've always thought that radio was one of the most attractive Philcos. Yours looks brand-new, an outstanding restoration.

I have one that I've restored electrically, but have not done anything with the cabinet but clean it up and put some wax on it. It's in pretty good vintage condition, but nothing as lovely as your restored cabinet. Maybe your pic will inspire me.

I've never quite understood how the station labels go in that 1940 escutcheon, either. Mine were just glued in by a previous owner, unlike the plastic 1941 escutcheons that had slots for the station identifiers and their little plastic covers.
