38-2 cabinet finish, what did they use originally
#11

Oy...the skies have been gray here for too many days in a row! Icon_crazy

But anyway....Russ is absolutely right. You folks would do well to heed his advice; he definitely knows what he is talking about and is one of the best at what he does.

For me, it is a continual learning process. I think I'm pretty good at the electronic restorations, but have a way to go when it comes to cabinet refinishing. Yep, I've wrecked a few radios too (no need to apologize, Russ). Some I've been able to rescue later. My Philco model 604 is one of those. I initially botched its electronic restoration, only to come back a few years later and get it right.

I have opinions that some folks do not like, also. Don't we all? Icon_smile
