Sorry everyone who left comments this morning but I had a small glitch and needed to upload the video again thus loosing your original comments. But I did ready them all and thank you for your encouragement. Join me as as I begin a partial restoration of a 1936 Philco tombstone radio. I purchased this set "attic fresh" for $10 from a local estate. The electronics will need quite a bit of work which will take place this winter when I am snowed in. For now, I'll attempt a cabinet restoration rather than a complete refinishing. Any time I can preserve an original finish it's always a good day. My goal is never to make an antique look new but rather to be sympathetic to the old original finish and patina whenever possible. When this radio was new in the mid 1930's, Bing Crosby was just making a name for himself as a solo act after years singing in a trio called The Rhythm Boys with Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra.
