Mine is an honest opinion; then again, since I know squat about cabinetry, it's only worth so much. Icon_lol
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

 It looks all right to me Kirk, I have a few Philco's from that era, like a 42-327, and the grill bars, wood dial escutcheon, and base look black to me, same with a Canadian made Philco battery radio I have.

Thanks all,

  I finally finished my pair of Utah speakers!
I also finished the Croyden I smashed the grill on... 
I am happy with the results.. 
My arms are tired from rubbing, Icon_lol

The Croyden will go to Mike.. I did everything I could but someone changed it underneath so it does not work Icon_sad
