One think that I have noticed about that dark walnut shading lacquer is that it is really hard to strip and get out of the grain sometimes, judging by the top and side (or is it the arch?) it looks original. I know that Philco sometimes offered ivory white painted models, don't know if the 60 was one of those, did they offer an all dark finish as an option as well? Some manufacturers like RCA (at least in Canada) used to do this, I've had a few over the years.
