This is sort of related to cabinet restoration so here goes. Here's a thread that might be of interest to some. I do cosmetic facelifts on older car radios many of which are Philco units from 60's and 70's Ford Mustangs/Mercury Cougars. I'll take you through some of the processes that I go through to enhance the appearance of these units. Be patient as my full time job as a pharmacist keeps me pretty busy so this thread may not move along as fast as some. Attached is a picture of what we're starting with. It's a 1968 Mustang/Cougar Philco AM car radio. Part number is 8TPZ which is found on the side of the case. I first bench test these units to make sure they work. If non-functional, I will generally use them for parts unless they are too nice to part out. I then sell them as non-functional and worthy of electronic restoration. I mostly do cosmetic and some mechanical resto. Enjoy!
