In the past I have refinished the square type tube shields from the mid-late 30's Philcos with chrome paint.  I now have a 16B and a 60B that I just picked up at Kutztown and these also have round type shields. I have seen some restorations where they were refinished in aluminum or chrome and others that are an olive metallic color.  Does anyone know which is correct? What was the original factory finish?

Thanks,

Steve D
