Good evening!

Thanks for the kind words!

I used mahogany veneer that I bought at my local Woodcraft store. I hand selected the veneer for a close match in grain structure more than trying to match color... heck, with the magic of modern gel stains, I can make it about any color I wish.

For more, you might find it useful to review this thread: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=4047 In it, I discuss the completion of this little project.

The guy who did the restoration is Randal Walls at Texas Vintage Audio http://www.texasvintageaudio.com/index.html

Cheers!

Rob
