Thanks guys,

Great idea on the metal pieces. Just happens I have a couple of those fuse box covers hanging around. Figured they'd come in handy "some day".
Coming up with a PHILCO logo that will match the well used patina of the cabinet will be another project. I've seen the decal sheets, but they all look new. We might try Photoshop, and if we get it right we'll have a sign shop print it out.
Whoever refinished the cabinet took great care not to take away the history of it's use. It's really beautiful. Especially all the marks from rings and fingernails around the phono pullout. I get the feeling it didn't sit around idle very much in it's first life.
Thanks again,

Scott
