I appreciate the advice.. I've done woodworking.. but I've been schooled in finer furniture I guess. I realize most of these radios were mass production units and cost was a big factor for them. I'm trying to be a bit anal about it.. I want whatever I work on to end up looking as close to what it did if I walked in to a Philco showroom back in the day. I will count myself blessed with Elliott's here in Dallas. Good thing I'm working on a common, plentiful model than something rarer.

I'll post a pic when I've put on the lacquer. if the weather ever cooperates.

Steve: I've felt like I needed to deposit half my paycheck with these folks on other woodworking projects.. the paint/stain department guy knows me by name.
