Philco Model 60 before/after

[Steve K]

I wanted a simple project to work on for a change. I'm getting tired of vintage color TV repair and alignment so I picked up this sad little Philco. It was painted white, knobs and all. I restored the chassis and the cabinet. Instead of initially stripping the paint I scraped it off to see the original finish. I was able to replicate the two tone finish fairly close to the original. The grill cloth is almost an exact match to the original (which is a bit different from that used on many of the Model 60s). Now I don't know what to do with it!
