Philco 37-640
#5

My plan is to keep it as original as possible on the outside, with the modern guts. My friend has two laser cutters that he uses to make the parts for the 3D printers he sells, he said I can make anything I want with them. So I will make a board to mount the amp and Andruino, the board with bolt down to the original chassis mounting locations. I will have to come up with a creative solution to secure the screen and switches however, I may have an idea that would be easily reversible.

Took some before pics to document the original condition. My phone isn't the greatest at this.

Worst of the damage. Seems someone dropped something heavy on it at one point, cracking off a chunk of veneer and cracking the support. I was thinking of filling the crack with wood glue and clamping it to fix that, but I might be in trouble with the veneer.....

Dial is pretty good.

The inside coating, what is it called?

The model sticker and the schematics sticker inside, are both in good shape
