Hi all. I am restoring a B1750 radio phonograph (1954) as shown, except mine is the blonde wood version. I am having a local paint store match the blonde stain color for me but I have a choice of oil based or water based stain. Is there a preference, is there is a difference in the quality?? Although I know there are water and oil based paints, I never thought about having a choice for stains as well. Thanks.
