I just remembered...the 660X cabinet is identical to the 1935 version of the 16X.

1935 model 16X: http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/1935a.htm#c
(This sort of shows the top of the cabinet.)

1936 model 660X: http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/1936a.htm#ap
(This is the 660X I used to own...this photo also shows the top, but probably not quite to your liking.)

I've owned a (1935) 16X and a 660X in the past, but do not own either version now...and I never took a photo of just the top of either one.

Regarding the two thin strips of very dark wood on top, Arran told me once what type of wood that is, but I do not recall. Arran, can you help? It is a very soft wood, and very easily damaged by sanding.
