I finally removed all of the crud from my Philco 60 (by stripping it) and was able to save the "Philco" stencil. However, there is a lot of wear around the volume control knob hole. I am going to use toner on the cabinet, but as it sits now (dry), the ring around the knob hole appears lighter than the surrounding wood. Will this probably disappear under the lacquer or do I need to treat it?

Also, the inscribed lines which separate the light areas from the dark areas appear (to me) lighter than they ought to be. Does anyone color these in dark (brown) before refinishing?
