[Crist Rigotti]

Here it is. The cabinet has been over-coated with poly most likely. That will have to get stripped off. The top veneer has some areas that are missing. I'm thinking that I'll just replace the whole top with new veneer.

It also has an antenna wound around the back. Is this a standard thing? I'm thinking it was added on after market. It is a nice job though. The speaker looks real good and the chassis has no rust on it except a little surface on the tube shield and the cap can. It will clean up real good.

When I arrived the guy had it on and it was playing! The volume was very low though. We turned it off almost right away. The grill cloth is almost worn through near the bottom. I'm hoping I can repositioned it further down to hide that area, we'll see.

Anyway it does look very doable to restore this Philco to very new status. A project a little bit down the road. Over-all I'm happy with the purchase. The seller was very nice and was interested in a little Philco history. He bought it at the state fair so he couldn't give me any details on its life.
