I am a restorer of chassis and not the cabinets, what is the recomendation from this forum in regards to refinishing this cabinet, It is solid all over, even the tube layout paper diagram and warranty tag inside. I have researched the Philco pages and read the article from the deceased gentleman concerning the use of a black and white photo copy and then pigmenting the paper to emulate the photo finish. Is there any members out there that has mass produced the photo finish for the 37-84. I believe that I would be better off leaving it in it's current condition than to simply strip and generically finish the front, Please advise,

Greg
