Philco Radiobar 1940-1941 Chippendale
#16

Here are some new pics of my fully restored Chippendale Radiobar.  I redid the electronics and  replaced grill cloth (similar period).  Replaced pushbuttons with new. Removed and polished all screws and chrome.  I was very lucky to find this radio cabinet in such good condition.  I used a touch up stick and many coats of Minwax to bring this unit back.  There are some very small imperfections in the original finish but it looks like new, and hopefully will retain more value. It has all the complete and correct glassware in mint condition. I do have a question about this unit though. Do any of you know of any other RP-200's that might be out there? I have been told that this might be the only one that has survived??  Thanks.
