Deforest/crosley Project RESTORE!
#1

I wanted to save the original finish on this one but after looking closely and overall inspection there were to many problems with finish. A total refinish will be performed . By looking at photo you cant see the problems that you would see in person so here I go. I gutted the cabinet today and stripped the cabinet . It will look grand once im done with it. There are many different woods on this cabinet and is built solid as a rock like Philco cabinets. Very heavy and thick, that's what I like to work with, the grill cloth will be saved and is thicker than your normal grill cloth. There was very little veneer damage which is great, nothing to lose any sleep over. The radio it self will be getting a total going over for top performance and safety. I will post progress for the next week or so until completed.  Icon_wave
