Whenever I hear that Philco Model X (or any other make and model) has received a "professional" refinish and chassis restoration I'm always skeptical. There was/is a Philco 38-3XX on Seattle Craigslist for an outrageous amount claiming the same and not only is the finishing job incorrect it actually looks terrible. Also for some unknown reason they did not have the wherewithal to replace a broken power switch on the tone control and decided to plug the set into powerbar mounted in the back of the cabinet and turn the set on and off in that manner. If I am buying a set as restored I would want to know who performed the work, and to see under chassis shots, I spent a month on and off about a year ago trying to sort out a so called "restoration" performed by a "Professional" and it was an absolute hack job.
