I see I put my question under the under the wrong topic - should have been "Philco Cabinet Restoration" instead of "Philco Electronic Restoration".

Not a problem - I will move it for you

I used Elmer's Carpenter's Wood Filler which from what I understand I don't think it contains Silicone so I think I am okay?

Yes, if that is all that you used on the cabinet.

You indicated above that the top finish is clear lacquer and the rest of the cabinet is a tinted lacquer. I thought that the two panels on the front (panels to left and right of center) might also have been clear because of the pretty patterns on the panels but, now that you say it, it makes sense that the color on the front would all be the same.

Radio cabinet manufacturers generally used tinted lacquer instead of stains - tinted lacquer gives a more uniform color overall, on different types of wood, than stains do.
