it took a lot of work to get all the black off from the radio. It appears that Philco used a stain to color the white wood and the plywood. This is the cabinet stripped and sanded. I need to glue some veneer to the shaped plywood for the the decorative pieces before I glue them to the radio. I will experiment with some wiping stain on the cabinet to even out the color, then use toner to get the final color. I believe I read somewhere Ron recommending the cabinet be toned with dark walnut toner and the decorative pieces with medium walnut.
