I have one of these that is largely original, except the top, and I think medium walnut is the right shade, but it has to be dye based not pigment based. The trim was a gloss black I think, or a very very dark brown but it looks black to me. Don't forget to use a grain filler, it had it originally. These are actually good performers for AC/DC sets, well worth fixing up, but I think that Philco must have had a bad batch of dials as the paint on mine was flaking badly, some others do as well, yet there are others that are perfectly fine.
Regards
Arran
