I have noticed that Marconi cabinets, from that era, didn't really go overboard with the shading lacquer, at least on the higher end cabinets. Unfortunately my only pre war Marconi is a model 157, and both ends of the cabinet were very heavily shaded, along with the grill, even the walnut veneer was over sprayed with tinted lacquer, though a more light colour.

Arran
