Philco 80 Jr. Restoration Chronicles

 The less Toner you add, the lighter it will be. I wanted it as original as possible. You have to remember that these darken over 70 years. Original is always a shade or 2 lighter. Medium walnut can be almost black if you add 50 coats. The veneer on the cabinet is burled and it does look like brush strokes. Never use a brush!

Kirk
