Looking back, I see Furniture History stops mentioning the types of wood/veneer used after early 1933. Sorry.

The veneer on the top and sides will be some sort of walnut. Exactly what type, quarter-sawn, half-sawn, full-sawn, sawn-shawn, I don't know.

I think I misspoke when I described the toners. It looks like it uses either Maison Brown (Ultra Classic) or Extra Dark Walnut (Tone Finish) on the trim pieces and possibly the legs, with Perfect Brown (Ultra Classic) overall otherwise. I think these tended to be a little bit darker overall than sets using Medium Walnut.

Thanks for posting those...I tried but gave up. Seeing these pictures has me re-motivated to finish the shadowmeter coil winding and get the chassis back together and in this cabinet.
