My Next Project - Butterfly Radio
#1

I thought I would share my next restoration project. It's a sad little Philco Model 45 that needs quite a bit of help. Normally I would do the chassis first, but winter is approaching and I'm gonna knock out as many cabinets as I can this fall. Here it is..

   
   
   
   

As you can see, it has some old glue caked into the slots. Anyone got any ideas on how to get it off the wood?

One more thing... I don't create these threads to show you I am the forum expert on refinishing. Actually, it is the opposite.. I'm no expert at all. My goal is simply to encourage everyone to try their hand at repairing and refinishing cabinets. Hey, if a guy named Puhpow can get decent results, so can you!
