Greg;
Which lowboy cabinet is it? Is it the one with the fretwork speaker grille or the earlier one with just the cloth? I myself have used Mohawk tone spray, but on dark wood parts I often use brown fabric dye to colour the wood so I don't have to use as much. Medium walnut, and dark walnut might be among them. The front panel of the early version seems to be bird's eye maple, and it looks like it was fogged around the perimeter with tone spray, though it was not finished as blond, the later version seems to be using Australian walnut in a chevron pattern, again fogged around the perimeter, and the speaker grille. Mike (Morzh) has one of the model 20 lowboy sets that is in fair original condition, I can't remember which one though, there are also a few photos in the gallery to go by for either version. If I were to take a guess the colour palette was similar to the cathedral versions.
Regards
Arran
