Philco 66 Restoration Chronicles

WHY ME!!!!

I am not even then working on radios right now and in the middle of lunch today I get told that there is something leaking in the garage all over my radios. I hobble into the garage and find this:
       

Needless to say Mikes cabinet is getting a full restoration. This happened after I carefully stripped the entire cabinet around the face to try to keep it original. The face wasn't great but now it is toast.

The stripper ate right through the base of the can and also ruined my grandfathers Auto transformer that had a perfect finish.:
