Can anyone recommend a good beginners book to refinishing Philco wood cabinets preferably with lots of pictures, instructions and resources where to get supplies. Maybe refinishing for dummies? Have a bunch of radios that work but are in need of refinishing. Will have to wait to spring to do it outside but want to read up on it now

thanks
Chris

Try searching Google and Amazon for The Weekend Refinisher book. I believe that's the title. I think AES and/or Radio Daze may also carry it.
