Paul - thanks for pointing that out about the early production 1935 (June 1934) 60B. I've revised the photo above accordingly.

Brian has sent me photos of his 60B. You can tell the set has been refinished - not once, but twice!

"Before" shot:

Notice that except for the base trim, the coloring is lighter than the original factory colors, as shown in my "Evolution" photo in an earlier post. Also note there is no PHILCO decal, but it has a Bakelite escutcheon - another tipoff that it's been refinished before.

But at least an attempt was made to tone the cabinet to some resemblance of its original look.

Now the "after" photos:

I think these photos speak for themselves.
