Thank you, but don't look to closely. My veneer repairs leave a bit to be desired! I left many of the little dings for "character" (actually, too many to fully repair - I'm not very good at filling and hiding.) The original color was very brown. The wood veneer is some form of mahogany, and was more red than brown after removing the original varnish or shellac or lacquer. The camera flash, though, really accentuated the red. Here is a bit closer representation of its color.
This is not the Deluxe cabinet that I've seen in my internet searches. I cannot find this cabinet anywhere. I want to know what the doors looked like - how ornate were they? What kind of hardware? What kind of veneer pattern? Maybe I'll just leave it this way! Now to start the radio.

Well...pull out every single load of the transformer. For every winding.
Unsolder if needed.
