Man, that dial back plate is now beautiful. It looks like it was just freshly flocked at the Philco factory! (try saying that three times)

My hat's off to you, Greg. I don't know how you did it...but I am certainly glad that you did! Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.

I'm guessing you must be doing this in a heated room. I simply could not make things work right in the cold house garage. I think that if I ever attempted it again, I would work outdoors in hot weather, treating it just as I would refinishing a radio cabinet.

I am also glad to see that your 59C is up and running, too. Icon_thumbup

Greg, thank you again! So now I will only need to align the radio and the chassis will be done. That will leave cabinet cosmetics...that will have to wait for warmer weather.
