| Philco 45 - Cabinet As Found, Prior to Restoration |
| On the whole, the cabinet wasn't too bad. The worst part was the gouge around the left knob. The wood was well worn down here and I had to cut out a section and patch it, taking care to match the thickness of the patch with the surrounding area. Many coats of black lacquer then did a good job of hiding any signs of the patch. See the before and after comparison. |
