Three weeks and one day ago, the 6T2's cabinet was stripped.

[Image: http://www.philcoradio.com/images/phorum...T2_009.jpg]

Today, I patched the missing veneer on the bottom of the left side, sanded the cabinet down, and sprayed on the sanding sealer.

I made an unfortunate discovery during this: Apparently, Mohawk cans will go bad after so long. I found this out when the sealer blushed a little and I went to get my handy-dandy No Blush Plus - it would not spray properly. Replacing the nozzle made no difference. So this means another can needs to be ordered.

Hopefully, tomorrow evening, depending upon the weather: Grain filling of this cabinet.
