It looks great philco but i am one for helpful criticism. If left unsaid you will not think to do it in the future.

The cabinet really should have been grain filled. if you did then it should have been gone over again so zero grain lines can be seen.
That is only for originality. The pieces looks great otherwise.

If you didn't throw away the old grill cloth I would buy it. It can always be saved... well most times.

Does she play as good as she looks?

I have the little brother but would love an 18B some day.

Regards
Kirk
