1936 610 restoration
#1

Hi Guys!

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I picked up a 1936 610 recently (sigh, buried under a bench in a car port)

the chassis is about done and I'm working on the cabinet and I need a little advice. after the broken pieces were repaired it was all cleaned up.. I used a lighter walnut to stain the bleached sections and it worked out well.. but the whole front is about as dark as the outer portion should be. I used grain filler on the sides (walnut from mohawk) and it's Really dark. I'm thinking I'll need to use a pigment toner on the sides because all the nicks and dings, which are now filled with grain filler. the front looks decent enough to use a dye toner on.. I'm looking for some advice on which colors to use. my local hardware store carries the entire line of mohawk everything.. so obtaining it is easy.

second question is about decals.. Does anyone know which decal set from Radio Daze I should order? I orderd a DCL-PH1 but I'm not sure if the three philco decalls on the lower left are the correct ones or not.

DCL-PH1 @ radiodaze

any info any might have would be appreciated!

Thanks again

Bret
