1937 Philco 37-620 chairside and 1936 640 tombstone
#16

>>some goof ball used off white latex to paint it

Ouch. Mine had been done in with red filler and mahogany varnish, but at least it wasn't white. My goofball lost some of the front inlay, and replaced it with plastic wood painted black. I found some ebony that matched pretty well. As a final touch, said goofball stapled the grille cloth carrier to the cabinet, but used staples that were too long. Yup, right out through the face veneer. Oh I'll bet he was mad. I think he gave up at that point, since the chassis hadn't been touched.
