I have a vintage Philco cabinet that I would like to restore.  The biggest issue I am having trying to understand how the doors were finished.  The cabinet has some wear on the finish, and a tear on the clothe.  I scratched off some finish, with my fingernail and it appears the gold line and the multi grain finish is just a faux finish.  Is there any literature on how to restore these doors? Also, the dark color around the speaker clothe seams to be a paint.  Can anyone guide me to the actual product I can use to apply in order to restore this area?  Thank you
