That can be redone. IT looks too good not to. I redid a philco that had been hit in the front and the case was almost falling apart. Here is a before and after.

And the after. This had a lot of damage not seen in the photos. But after I got the radio playing I just had to fix the case.

Nice work willy. I would have used toned lacquers and a satin final finish (not so glossy) to replicate the original look, but that's just me. You saved one that was pretty far gone and that's what counts.

Nice work indeed! The glossiness could be camera flash, either way a very nice radio :thmbsp:

Camera is not the best and it doesn't take pictures that good. Looks better in person.
