Philco 60MB cabinet restoration
#1

I couldn't leave this cabinet lying around in pieces so I got to repairing it right away.

First up, I unmounted the speaker and grille.

I'd really, really like to salvage this grille cloth.
I though maybe I could weave in a patch taken from the top edge, but there's quite a color difference Icon_confused

The speaker is in great condition Icon_thumbup

Now for the repairs. I glued and clamped several areas were the plywood and veneer was separating.
