Philco 71 - Decent performer?
#6

Thanks for the info. I just checked and mine is a code 121. I may just end up leaving it as be and hold out and find a set with a shadow meter incorporated. I know it's mainly for eye candy, but still interesting to watch in operation nonetheless.

One last general question - there are two small veneer chips on the edge of the face of the unit that I'd rather not mess with, and the sides could stand to be refinished. Since this is the only cathedral I have, I am toying with the idea of having the cabinet refinished by someone who knows what they're doing. I could check a few of the local refinishing places locally, but wondered if you had someone you would recommend, and generally how much does a professional refinish cost? Thanks!
