Hello,
     Trying to restore the cabinet for a model 96.  According to  Radio Museum.org it was made in 1930.  The veneer on both sides is shot and partially missing so I want to replace it.  Does anyone know what they used on cabinets of that era?  Thanks

Which cabinet style is your cabinet? There was a lowboy, and a highboy, and a third which was a radio-phono combo in a sort of corner cabinet. There are pictures of each in the Philco Gallery for the 1930 model year.

There is some description of the veneers in the 1930 Brochure in our library. Here's the link:

It is a lowboy cabinet. I can't seem to add pictures here. If someone tells me how I can post a picture. Thanks

You are probably skipping the final step. Once you select the photos you want and they get downloaded, the system assigns a serial number to each one and displays a list to you. You can then select the photos and scroll back to your text and put the cursor where you want the photo. Then scroll back down and click on Insert In Text. Then open a container of your favorite beverage and enjoy.

I can't figure out what the first step is, let alone the final step. I have tried copying pictures from my hard drive and then pasting them into my forum post, but nothing happens.

First, if you are posting from the "Quick Reply" window you can't post photos. You should post from the "New Reply" button to be able to post photos. Scroll down and there's a box to put the photos in.

Here are some photos of the veneer.  The lighter shaded one  has had the lacquer scraped off.  The darker shaded one had the lacquer removed with thinner.          
If anyone can identify the species of wood it would be a great help.  Thanks.

I am almost positive it is white or light walnut. Then stained or toned to the proper color.

I thought it looks most like the quarter sawn flexible veneer that Constantine's sells, but I wanted another opinion.  Thanks
