1st radio ever, Philco 37-640 restoration (DONE)
#6

Yeah I was going to but I wanted to keep it as original as possible. It was only 11 " high and the cabinet side is 46" high. I grain filled the cabinet yesterday morning early:
   

I could not sleep last night so I got to toning and sanding. She is looking much better today and you cant see the repairs. I used perfect brown and walnut toners.
Now all I have to do it give her a light #0000 sanding and get her under 3 coats on Mohawk clear lacquer.

   

Thanks for the comments Craig, I will update the post as I get the work done. May be a few days since I have furniture work to do.
