Philco 60 Cabinet Suggestions
#1

Hi guys,

I just finished the electrical work on my Philco 60, and it is playing nicely. However, I'm torn as to what to do with the cabinet.

Looking at the wear pattern, it's clear that this was a well used and well loved set. I would hate to lose all of that character by completely stripping it. Still, the finish is tired and the sides show some cracking.

Any suggestions on what route to take?

If you like the way it is now, you can always clean it up, get all wax, etc off then put a clear coat over what is there. It will protect it and look nicer with the clear coat over it.

Like Warren said, you can clear coat it. I've done several cabinets like that. I clean them with mineral spirits and a paper towel. Allow it to dry, then go over it with a tack cloth. After that, spray some clear lacquer and you'll be good to go.
