Philco 48-1000 TV
#1

Hello.  I am working on turning this:
   
back into this:
   
See my thread at AntiqueRadios on the electronics restoration here:
http://antiqueradios.com/forums/viewtopi...3&t=269342
I am now working on restoring the cabinet.  First I'm working on restoring the structure, then I'll work on the finish.  I'll post more pictures of it soon - feel free to comment if you have any advice.

Questions:
- is the veneer mahogany or walnut?  I need to order some for the damaged sides.
- Is it stained or is toned lacquer used?
- If toned lacquer, what color(s)?
- was the finish originally gloss or semi-gloss lacquer?
- for the black on the bottom - is that black lacquer paint, or black toned lacquer?

Thank you for any help you can give.
