What did you use on the tube shields? I have some here that need to look as good as yours!

I love seeing when someone takes a radio like this, that most people would think is beyond hope, and resurrecting it from the dead. Great job!

The olive color is real close to a lot of tube sheilds like Philco . If you like rust like they do on American pickers just leave them alone

Nice job! I have a Philco 16L in a Lowboy style cabinet that I plan to work on in the next few months. I've heard that the 16 sounds great.
