Hello folks!

I'm showing an old Philco 41-255 all original finish with seven coats of Johnson's Paste wax.  Hand-buffed.  The old gal sits in pride of place of my living room for everyone to see.  She works excellently as well.

Harlow would be proud!
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
