38-15 Cabinet restored
#1

My 38-15 project is almost complete. Here is a couple before and after pics of the cabinet. Grill cloth isn't correct but it'll have to do at least its a Philco pattern.

Before:

Thanks for the comments. It still has spots and a few dents in the wood I didn't want it up look factory new. I was able to remove or improve a few deep dents with a hot clothes iron.

I finished it up last night.
