Those stripes on the front are a very dark brown veneer inlay, and will retain their dark color even if you strip the cabinet. So no worries there. Icon_smile That inlay is also very soft wood, though, so be careful as you prepare the surface for refinishing.

P.S. I've moved this topic here to Philco Home Radios, since it is a discussion about a Philco home radio, I felt it would be more appropriate here. Icon_smile
