Hmmm...fir...makes sense to me. After all, if Philco could cut corners somewhere, they would.

Now...I give you this afternoon's progress on the 66B:

Take a good look at that right side panel. It certainly does not look like walnut (not to me, anyway)!

I wet sanded the entire cabinet with 400 grit paper to remove the grain fill residue and prepare the cabinet for toning. After wiping the cabinet off and then letting it dry, the cabinet received two good coats of Medium Walnut toner with one of Mohawk's optional fan spray nozzles. It is starting to look as it should once again.

Tomorrow, I plan to mask off the areas which will remain Medium Walnut, and then spray black lacquer on the trim.
