Every 40-190 I have ever seen has been toned Medium Walnut overall.

The photo in my site's Gallery shows a 40-190 with an excellent original finish. The wavy appearance on the right side was just a reflection.

Quote:Has anyone ever put together a color chart for old radios?

There are way too many vintage radio cabinets out there for any one person to take on such a monumental task. Someone, or a group of people, would have to be independently wealthy to tackle something like that because it would take years of daily work to research and complete.
