New guy with a PT-6 to Restore
#1

Greetings from the mountains of Maryland! I recently found a Philco Transitone PT-6 at a yard-sale for $10. (Hope this was a good buy/price) This is my first table top restore...Im also working on an RCA Victor Cabinet from a barn sale for $5 as my first full cabinet restore...

And I am amazed that I cant find more info on this radio!! I have hit up the Radio Museum site and some other forums and only found the schematic and parts list!!

Main questions for you good folks are:

1 - Does anyone know the toner colors to use to get it back to an original look?
2 - Is there a decal for the "Philco Transitione" on the front panel that is available?
3 - Best way to repair a cracked knob...Im assuming its a "Bakelite".

The body is showing some good cracking from humidity, veneer pealing, and separation of joints...It still has the knobs, but one is cracked a little.

My level of wood work is intermediate, so I can repair most of the damage on this little guy. But im sure questions will definitely be asked!! So any and all input would be greatly welcomed!!!

P.S. Ive lurked for a few days and OMG!! If I can even come close to some of the work done in here i'll be lucky!!!
