Philco 71 Cabinet Colors - Guest - 06-22-2009

Anyone know what lacquer toner colors should be used on a Philco 71? Mohawk toner lacquer is the usual brand that I use.

Thanks

John K.

I'm sorry I missed this post until now.

Medium Walnut for the main body of the cabinet, with Perfect Brown on the inset front panel, and either Extra Dark Walnut or Maison Brown on the bottom trim, and trim surrounding the front panel. Extra Dark Walnut or Maison Brown on the edge of the front arch/side edges.

This 18B photo should give you the idea of the proper coloring.
