Philco 514 Cabinet
#7

It's been a while but the owner picked up the set last June and was thrilled with the results.[attachment=20104]

I decided to use a light furniture oil on the cabinet then buff.  It served to clean and brighten the finish at the same time coat the bare metal as a rust protection.  The RCA 100 speaker really turned out looking nice.  There used to be a grille cloth covering the screens but I painted them an antique gold.  If the owner wants to add a cloth later it will be easy.  The TRF radio performed well.

Later next week I will post the method I used to construct a 48 foot antenna for this radio.

Thanks for all the help, people!  Appreciated.
