Philco 650B Chassis Restoration
#12

Hi Ed

I think you wil find that the chassis, if thin or devoid of plating, will rust even if left in a warm environment. The normal household temperature cycles will produce condensation and thats enough.

I recommend you to try Zinser Spray shellac maybe on an old chassis first. In tests by me it has fantastic adhesion. It dries with a gloss but can be made invisable by another light coat of matt acrylic lacquer (this is what I do).

Yes! your 90 chassis is much how mine look

cheers Gary
