A
(cheap!) eBay find in July 2007. This radio was purchased to fill in
a spot in my 1941 Philco lineup collection. The original finish
was gone, but the thin strip of photofinish around the base was mostly
intact. Electronic repairs included; all new capacitors, restuffed to
preserve the
original chassis look, a new line cord, and a very thorough cleaning.
The cabinet was refinished using Mowhawk brown toning lacquer and Deft
gloss clear lacquer. The original photofinish strip was preserved. Below: The
radio before restoration.
