1929 Philco model 87 lowboy cabinet questions
#15

Terry, lol.
Looks like they didn't use tape measures, or eyeballs the day mine was being built. My center panel is off by a good quarter of an inch at the bottom. The knob shafts are touching the holes in the panel as well
No big deal, was just curious if this was a common thing. I'm still ecstatic to finally have one of these, and I still think it is still a beautiful work of art!
Easy enough to fix (I think). Looks like the center panel is held in by screws. I'll just have to be very careful removing the glue blocks, and any laquer residue on the face where the pieces meet and might be stuck together. Thanks again!
