From what I have heard looks are somewhat deceiving, whilst the model 60MB (M stands for modern as opposed to the 60B without the M which is a cathedral model) and the 66B cabinets appear to be the same they are not quite. The 60MB has a mahogany like veneer on the front panel, and also does on the top and sides, however Philco cut corners on the 66B by using cheaper veneer on the sides and by using a dark shading lacquer over it like they did on many of their tombstone cabinets. 
Regards
Arran
