Philco 645K Refinish
#5

Here's the finished set. I managed to retain the original tube chart on the left , and I reproduced the red instruction card that I found somewhere inside the cabinet..

I get carried away with graphics, even with those that may never be seen again. Here I tried to reproduce the over-inked rubber stamp on the shadow meter.

I also did the part numbers for the tops of the electrolytic cans, but I couldn't reproduce the correct font for the numbers.

I have no more space for consoles. I only have three, but they're all in my study, which is the only room that's cat-safe. There's a perfect spot for this set in the family room, but the cat would immediately claim it as a scratching post and shred the original grill cloth.

Overall an excellent result with Philco Phorum guidance.
