Philco 118H Cabinet, Question for Ron
#4

OK, I have the book in front of me - and, unfortunately, it does not mention the types of wood used.

Looking back, I see Furniture History stops mentioning the types of wood/veneer used after early 1933. Sorry.

The veneer on the top and sides will be some sort of walnut. Exactly what type, quarter-sawn, half-sawn, full-sawn, sawn-shawn, I don't know.

Here are Glenn's photos.

I think I misspoke when I described the toners. It looks like it uses either Maison Brown (Ultra Classic) or Extra Dark Walnut (Tone Finish) on the trim pieces and possibly the legs, with Perfect Brown (Ultra Classic) overall otherwise. I think these tended to be a little bit darker overall than sets using Medium Walnut.

Thanks Morzh. So it appears I did wire it incorrectly and I have to switch the wires between pins 2 and 4.bobclausen — 09:24 AM

No, it's not a problem, just during certain condition it could show up. Yes, an internal tube short could do that too. ...morzh — 09:13 AM
