"a few pieces that can off the legs"? I think you mean came off the legs?

As I recall from the one I had previously (which glennpr now owns) along with one or two others I have seen, I think Perfect Brown would be good for the cabinet overall - something a bit darker than Medium Walnut, but not a lot darker; and it needs to be an "Ultra Classic" product so you don't lose the woodgrain. The front panel originally had a "sunburst" look with the majority being Medium Walnut, with Perfect Brown around the edges. Just take a look at any of the radios being sold by Arran's favorite eBay seller "Foggy", and you will see what I mean - only this effect is on the front panel alone, not on the edges of the cabinet.

I attached these again. If you need any additional pictures just let me know.
