Philco 640 Cabinet Refinishing Chronicles

Final update on this cabinet. I found that by hand polishing the cabinet with swirl remover I was able to remove all the fine scratches that the Novus #2 did not get. The finish is as smooth as glass and like a mirror. I finished the electronics, put it all back together, and it plays like a champ!

BTW, I started on this project back in September of 2013   Icon_crazy  .
