Hello, I'm getting ready to refinish my Philco 37-650X cabinet and was wondering what colors of toners are suitable for it and how are the toners applied to the cabinet. The trim on the cabinet was a different color than the rest of the cabinet. I have the cabinet completely stripped and lightly sanded so once I get the toners I need I should be ready to refinish. I haven't used toners before--just used stains and I want to do it right on this radio as this is the model that got me started collecting antique radios back in 1978. I have the 37-650 chassis that I got from Ron Ramirez a while back ready to install in the cabinet after I get it done.  Ken
