Philco 37-630 veneer question
#3

Ther
Usually what is done is a veneer repair and then toner is sprayed to blend the repair to the rest of the surface being sprayed.

On my 630 I had to replace some of the grillework veneer. In order to match the very dark wood "stripes" that go down the center, I first sprayed with clear and then very carefully drew the black lines with a sharpie. THEN I toned over the whole thing. Unless you examine it very carefully, you cannot tell. The reason I sprayed with clear first was to prevent the ink from soaking into the dry wood in the repair and spreading farther than I wanted it to.

There are 3 light strips of veneer that go from the dial around the cabinet to the back. They are cracked with pieces missing on mine.
Thanks
