1931 Grandfather Clock/radio completed!
#1

I finally completed repairing the finish on a Philco Grandfather Clock/Model 70 radio. The original grill cloth was perfect.

In the process of carrying the clock/radio up from the cellar workshop, my son managed to put his hand through the grill cloth. Luckily I had a very close remnant of material from another Philco and installed it. I had noticed that my cat was intrigued by the second sweep hand in the clock movement and it was funny to watch. However once the new grill cloth was in place, it took only 10 seconds for my cat to try to claw his way up to the clock, via grill cloth, to get to the sweep hand. The new cloth was salvaged but now I've got to cover the clock so that my cat doesn't try to climb it again! I guess I'll have to remove the sweep hand.
