From this... to this....

   
   
   


I want to add, if you are restoring a Philco Model 45, please do not use this thread to determine your colors. I do not know if this radio is historically accurate. It is simply what I decided I liked.

I spent a lot of time searching photos of this model, and I found black, dark walnut, and plain walnut cabinets. I found red, white, tan and yellow stripes. I found threads with people arguing over it..
In the end, I went with a light coat of perfect brown on the three front areas, extra dark walnut on the cabinet body and ivory stripes.

I hope everyone likes it. I am very pleased with it. Those stripes were the toughest part. They are tan/ivory, but my camera's flash whitens them up too much. They are not white.
