Hello guys,
Well my problem is I bought a repo leather handle for my Philco 46-350 well it's little on the light side far as color my question how can a person make it darker I did what gent said to leave it out in the sunn that did not darken it enough
any idea's I was thinking of shoe dye for leather shoes or what just colored polish.
Sincerely Rich
P.S. I to here your input the set I have came from a estate of the original own it's in really nice shape either then the handle and guy that owned it used brass Upholstery tacks as feet .
the chassis is very clean so is the cabinet when I redo this set I'm going to either stuff or hid the new caps to look original
