    Thanks Arran.   I was thinking along the same lines about the pilasters.   I have several Rogers radios and
 I feel that it should be a little darker.. when I got the radio is was partially stripped [just the easy areas]  so I don't know what it looked like before it was stripped.
  I probably will give it a couple of coats of something like medium walnut and see what it looks like.. if I don't like it   I can always use lacquer thinner to remove it. 
   I can't find any photos of the same cabinet to make a comparison.
As far as the gloss is concerned I know a lot of rogers had a high sheen , but I have a couple of high end Rogers [10-12] that don't have a shiny surface.. 
 I can always give it a high gloss and if it does not look the way I want , I can give it a coat of satin or something. Here is a photos of one of mine with a high gloss[original]
   I do appreciate the input   Dan
