Restoring cabinet Philco 60. Need color references.
#4

I can see from your photos that the finish on yours has darkened...a lot.

So the wood is still dark, even after stripping? Hmmm...

In all honesty, I've never seen a 60 in this cabinet style, which still had its original finish, that was any darker than the Model 60B, 1935 (July 1934) on the link I provided above.

The 60B, 1936 (June 1935) in the photo is a set I used to own, that did have its original finish.

I honestly do not remember at present whether the top and sides were toned Extra Dark Walnut, or not. I want to say they were to a certain extent - at least, darker than the light colored panels on the front.

The chassis of your set looks good. And the pictures are fine, no need to apologize. Icon_smile
