Hi all, this is my first post to this phorum. I have been restoring old radios now for about 10 years..I am 70 years old.
My question is this, I recently bought a model 20 philco radio.
I have the electronics all done except for a couple of bad 24 tubes.
The cabinet was or is a total wreck..The whole one side of the grill
was broken out. Used scroll saw and made a new grill that I spliced in.
The arch veneer was half missing. Replaced that with iron on veneer
that don't match the original. How do you guys match up the colors
before you stain? I have never used toners, and I am not a great
cabinet re-finisher..How can I make this new veneer match the old
veneer?
Thanks, Viscose Kid
