Philco 620 w/Brush Hushatone WWII Hospital Radio?
#6

Keeping it white would have been a nice historical option. The problem is that I actually tore it down and began stripping the cabinet before I googled the hushatone. Even if I hadn't, the white paint was in pretty bad condition, and I could never force myself to repaint it white. Plus, even though I have a gut feeling that it was a hospital radio, perhaps, as Arran says, it was done by a private owner? I plan to make it look like new, and I'll leave the hushatone attached, as it is part of the radio's history.

So far, I've only begun stripping, and I cleaned the dust off the chassis. I will probably need some help from you guys bringing this one back to life...

Here are some photos... as you can see, someone did some repair work many years ago. The stripper is struggling with the old white paint. The photo was taken 15 hours after the stripper was applied.
