I was perusing a shop yesterday and saw a philco 20 deluxe!
I was excited until I got up to it... The radio was SANDED down without a block and most of the veneer was missing from all the edges of the grillwork. Then he didnt grain fill or tone but slopped on poly....
Oh and he wanted $335.00 unrestored but "working"
I actually told the cashier lady that he ruined the radio and to tell him to stick to phonographs..

Ugh!
