Philco Tropic 42-788
#91

After some sanding and a couple coats of Medium Walnut...

I'm going to let this dry overnight, and then I will mask off the areas that need to remain Medium Walnut (top, sides, upper front, and lower control panel). The base, and the area around the speaker and two dials will need to be painted black, and I hope to accomplish that tomorrow evening.
