Philco 15DX restoration tips?
#4

I fully expected to replace the all the veneer on top, but decided to strip it down anyway. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's in really good shape. I think I'll only need to replace to front 2 inches or so Icon_smile Too bad my local supplier only has face cut while the plans call for quarter cut. Not exactly a good match. I'll use it to test stains and finishes while I track down some that matches better.
