Philco 90 - bottom cabinet moulding replacement?
#6

Here's my former water damaged radio after this Phorum's help and Steve Davis' Philco 90 moulding.  It sounds great.  I originally paid $50 but needed the moulding and new grill cloth plus all the usual (and unusual) electrical work. 

I read Ron's tone control replacement steps.  I was amazed at how bad the wire was even though the tone worked.   It cracked and flaked away when I started to replace it.   

I used Gojo but had to touch up the scratches.  Then i did 1 protective coat of lacquer but ventilation is a issue during January for Minnesota.

I have to finish applying lacquer coats when better weather comes - i don't have a place to do this indoors.  I will also take care of the nails etc. showing in the trim.
