Default Re: Philips 681a/15 cabinet

The tram lines are a very pale yellow cream.

A friend of mine now passed Sid (BVWS Member also known as Southampton Sid) worked for Philips after the war and when I complained about repainting the tram lines he told me there were just a couple of girls painting them freehand.

Sid was the first member of the BVWS to befriend me when I rocked up to Harpy all those years ago a real gent

The nearest I could find 20 years ago was a Dulux pale cream emulsion goes on thick like the original.

I always had to clean up afterward with a damp cloth

Got an acceptable result but not as even as the original.

Cheers
