Color for 37-650px ?
#1

Hello Ron or anybody, cant seem to find any pictures of the 37-650px . Is it that scarce of a set that there are no good photos out there? I am getting mentally ready to tare into the 650px soon. I kind of know what it should look like buy the factory finish that's on it but has deteriorated quite a bit over the years like me. Icon_eek I will do it justice, V pattern chevron cloth will be put in there, the same as the 16b cabinets I think? The veneer seems to be mahogany and one side is jacked up and will need to be replaced Icon_sad I have a vision for this radio on the toning and will do some eye POPING Icon_eek Icon_eek Icon_eek toning that will give the wood a living eye catching appearance that will be un surpassed by philco employees working in the cabinet dept. There going to say why didnt we think of this sooner, Fred should be running this department and we would be selling more radios than zenith or our competitors Icon_shh
