Model 81 Cabinet Restoration
#1

I am finally getting around to working on the cabinet of a Philco Jr. Model 81B, that I electronically restored some time ago.  Someone in the past painted it green and I am in the process of stripping that off.  It is going fairly well and I hope to begin returning it to look more like the original soon.

I have a few questions however:
  1. Can anyone provide some guidance on what color stains would be best to use on this once I have finished stripping?
  2. Is the front grill area supposed to be a different color than the sides?
  3. What type of sealer or varnish should be used once stained?
  4. Is there supposed to be a Philco label on the front?  If so, where is it to be placed and where can I get one?
  5. The cabinet base (looks like plywood) is coming apart.  Is it possible to replace this or would it be easier to just try and glue back together?
I appreciate any help or pointers that can be provided.

Thanks, Bill
