I've always been told 2 ply is the way to go, I've had problems with the lacquer, breaking down the paper backed adhesive, even with a few good seal coats of shellac.
Those plain wood philco's sure are ugly without a nice veneer on them, the added bonus is you can pick them up cheap.
Good Work !

  Thanks for the complement Tony, that is( WOW) veneer, in walnut. The place I buy it is called wood world in dallas. The reason they call it wow because its (wood on wood) , no paper back, I don't use that paper back because of what you said, Lacquer base products will desolve the paper back glue and then the nightmare begins. im lucky that there are a few places around here that sell all kinds of veneer. PS the bottom strip is a wood inlay with walnut burl 1 1/2 "
