Hello and welcome!
The original veneer was walnut. The front panel photofinish can be replicated. It would be a bit of work, but would look much better than a plain face. Stewart Schooley has a method of replicating photofinish. You can read about it here: http://www.philcoradio.com/schooley/index.htm And someone redid a 37-610B over on the Antique Radio Forum not too long ago...he did a really good job: http://antiqueradios.com/forums/viewtopi...&highlight= I especially recommend you read pages 2 through 5 of this thread carefully. I disagree with the use of gold paint - he should have used a light brown instead, a lighter color than the medium walnut brown in the front panel - but otherwise, it turned out extremely well. -- Ron Ramirez Ferdinand IN

thanks so much for your reply. the radio I have is a rectangle not the curved sides. the top and sides are a light blond looking wood. I only have to veneer the top if I can match it. the front I will do in walnut maybe or try to duplicate the faux as close as possible. thanks again. John.
