Hi everyone,

I thought I'd share a few of my Philco restorations with you. I like seeing before and after pictures, so here's a few of mine.

The first one is a 38-89 that I purchased at a very good price. I just restored the finish on this one without refinishing.

The second is a model 70. This one was worse than it looks in the before photo. I used Dick Oliver's repro bottom trim on this one. New grille cloth also. Also found the original knobs (after pic was taken.) I didn't clean the escutcheon, I prefer to leave these as found.
