Model 60 stain color
#5

+1

Do not use "stain". Use some medium walnut toner after you have sanded the 2nd coat of sealer (lacquer). That radio has some loose veneer. Normally I would say to go with a slightly modified gloss (see pictures of Fivers in blog). Unless the defects are fixed, a semi-gloss might be more to your liking since full gloss is going to reveal any defects.

Go lite on the toner.

I was a few seconds slower than Ron - mostly the same answer.

Base - light application of VD Brown.

This is also used on the outside edge of the front panel to conceal the plywood edge.

Let Ron tell you where to get the correct "Philco" decal.
