A 66B restore
#2

The veneer is glued.  A closer look at the sides show they are not walnut and are much darker than the front.  I do not yet have all of the original toner off I am sure but you can see the grain.

The sales brochure for the 66B says, "It was finished in Walnut brown Mahagony, set off with a jet black trim.  Hand-rubbed finish."  Indeed the remaining toner on the sides and top comes off with a reddish tint on the rag.  I will wipe the cabinet down with lacquer thinner in the next "outdoor" session to take off some of the remaining toner.  I think I will plan on UltraClassic medium brown walnut for the front panel but a pigment based toner for the sides.  Not sure yet what color I'll do on the sides and top.  The grain pattern on my set is very different from that of the 60MB cabinet that Bob Andersen did and from the 60MB that I did.  The trim will be....jet black...

I want to cover the side and top grain on this 66B so may use the pigment based medium brown mahogany M101-0387 (although the color in the color chart does not look right) or a brown mahogany (M101-0229).
