This is one of the "Spanish Brown" 511 series models, which is the most common version. https://philcoradio.com/gallery2/1928a/#Model_511 I don't think that there would be any shame is repainting the cabinet if you could figure out how to do it correctly, I'm guess that an airbrush may be the best method. It's sort of a fogged or fade effect, not dissimilar to what was done with many wooden cabinets with tone spray lacquers, basically the center of each panel is the base colour, where the edges are sprayed over in a darker brown to create that dark border fading into the lighter part. The gold pin strip may have been painted on afterward, possibly by hand with a brush, as what was done with cars, and old machinery.
