My New 620 with beautiful Photo-finish
#1

I know a few of you have been waiting to see how these new decals look on our Philco's so here they are from vintageradiolabels

It was challenging with 3 separate parts for the 620 and took a lot of work and i had to add glue to the grill parts due to lack of sticking but I think it was well worth it and looks beautiful.

WOW! and WOW! Beautiful facelift. That looks like a brand new radio. Good coloring and and grain reproduction.

Beautiful! I have a 620 I am working on and would love to do the same on it. I have a few other radios that would benefit from this treatment as well
#4

That looks great Kirk!! Looks like new.

Seems like they would have added the "philco" decal when printing so you wouldnt have to add it seperate

Kirk, you are the man! Proud of you!

Super job Kirk! That looks like new!

These decals should give a lot of Philco's a whole new lease on life.
