About the only thing that will colour the wood under that faux finish is some sort of wood dye, oil stain won't do much of anything. I guess I'm lucky in that most Canadian built radios, other then some Philco models, used real veneer, the exceptions being things like grill bars, or trim work, that was impractical to cover with veneer.
