Philco 45 Butterfly Restoration Chronicles....Finished
#38

I understand ron, the original walnut could have darked quite a bit over the years so maybe that is why some look black, but who knows. With the water damage, the walnut would not have been enough. It is a compromise but I am keeping it, so it does not have to be fully original even though I like the radios to be. This one is an exception since 50% of it is new.

I finished the striping and am currently applying the decal.
