A Philco 91B
#1

I’ve started the cabinet restoration for this 91B.  Its finish is flaky and needs to be redone but the cabinet itself is in pretty good condition.

Some of the veneer is beginning to come loose and the back side edge of the front arch has lost some of the veneer so that needs fixing as well.  Some of the larger chips in veneer on the back edge will also get fixed with the smaller ones just getting filled with Timbermate wood filler.

The base has a crack and the plywood is separating a bit but injecting a little wood glue fixes it easily.

The stripping process is using Citristrip since that works well indoors.  I usually follow-up with wiping the cabinet down with lacquer thinner as well but that’s an outdoor job that will have to wait until warmer weather.

After finishing the stripping, the cabinet looks 100% better even without toner and clear!  The routed edge around the center inset panel is a much lighter wood than anything else so I’ll have to do some extra toning on that.  Ron describes the various toned cabinets that were made for the 91B in an earlier thread.  Mine was one of the cabinets that had a dark “trim package” so I’ll try to reproduce that in the spring.
