The original finish was two-tone. The extra dark walnut on the top and sides of 1936 Philco models had a habit of coming off over the decades, making the cabinets appear to be a single color when they are not supposed to be. Anyone who says this cabinet isn't supposed to be two-tone does not know what they are talking about. Period, end of story.

I apologize for sounding harsh, but I'm starting to get tired of misinformation handed out by self-proclaimed "experts" being passed off as facts (and I don't mean you, Lloyd).
