Philco 50 (early) cabinet restoration
#3

thanks Kirk.  I've used Kenneth's before as well, very good, but its currently on backorder.  I've ordered the RadioDaze cloth for now.  Here's a pic of the re-drilled bottom section you see on these early 50s and I always take those pesky Philco Pheet off the bottom of the cabinet...they do nothing but scratch the heck out of everything you put them on.  I replace them with brown fiber/felt stick on feet.  While this cabinet has seen better days, the veneer is still pretty much all there.  Its loose on the grill section but not broken (and some of the base layer wood is loose as well).  The front arch veneer is coming off in many places as well but I'm uncomfortable trying to get it all off and reglued so I'm using the "work some glue in under the veneer and clamp" method to stabilize it.  It does have some chipping around the edges but hey...its older than I am and I have a few chips around the edges too.... Let the gluing begin   Icon_biggrin
