Hi Larry and welcome!
The area along the edge of your cabinet is missing the finish. Originally Philco used a toned lacquer to color the wood.I would carefully mask off light area on the cabinet with the LEAST sticky masking tape and paper. Sand lightly with 400 or 600G paper just to take off any rough edges from the original finish.
Respray with toned lacquer to match the original. Then a coat or two of gloss clear lacquer to protect the toned lacquer.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
