It's finally finished. My Philco 49-900 (hippo). Plays good and looks pretty nice. In retrospect, I wish I had used a nice airbrush, then again, I wish I "had" a nice airbrush. The case had a really nasty crack in the side, but the repair on it was really easy. You can't see it in real life, so you won't see in the pictures eith, so stop trying..lol Just a cool little radio that gets a second chance. That's what this all about anyway.

I had a radio get damaged a while back and had to do a similar repair job, very satisfying work.

Nice job on a really good looking radio

Nothing wrong with that job. That's a nice looking set.
