Crosley 167 Tombstone a little show and tell.
#24

As for the rest of the cabinet. I looked online and found pictures where it was finished all different ways. I couldn't find any pictures of what I thought was an original finish. So here's how I like it.

I used mostly perfect brown on the rest of the cabinet, which I found to have a reddish tint to it. And the extra dark walnut for the accents. A little bit that goes a long way.

I used semi gloss lacquer for the finish. Sorry it's not gloss. This thing is pretty rough looking with gloss on it.

The escutcheon for the dial was silver and I didn't think that was appropriate so I gave it shot of perfect brown.

And the the grille cloth was too brassy before I gave it light dusting of perfect brown. This was the closest I could find to the original pattern and color.
