Philco 40-145 Cabinet Repair
#5

   
   
   

All finished and singing a 40's tune! Please ignore the light area on the bottom photo - my camera does that. I assure you, the finish looks fine in real life.

Is it perfect? Nope. But it's good enough for government work. I wish I had used a lighter colored stain on the new wood, but it is what it is. Next time, I'll know better.

You can see how well Timber Mate works. The repairs on the veneer are virtually invisible. I am very pleased with the veneer repairs. As for the wood around the dial? It's the best I could do and I think it came out well. It shows that almost any radio can be fixed.
