Two Philcos followed me home
#13

Hi guys,
Terry, nice find on the 2 Philcos. The bad side may have some hope left in it.
It appears that only the top layer of veneer has seperated, (good) and all in one piece.
The base for the veneer only looks like it's cracked, and that can be filled.

By keeping the veneer intact, but removing it, you can repair the base, strip the veneer of old finiah, carefully fit and glue the whole piece back on. Make usre you use a lot of even pressure. Good clamps, with a flat board inbetween to help spread out the pressure.

After the piece is all dry and solid, you can then lightly sand, then refinsh as you wish.

By the way, I noticed in your photos the Truetone end table radio with flip out front. I bought two of those last year, waiting to redo them. I had bought that dial glass one night by itself. Then two weeks later the radios came up with one glass missing. At least it is back where it belongs now. I like the way the glass sticks out in front by itself.

Good luck with your sets.
Gary.
