Ron: Nice work.. There is a pretty good youtube on grain filler 3 parts
Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQfm0nLXJ...sults_main
Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVWQr-8GdkA
Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMul2m5TgvY

I have a couple of questions regarding the entire process sequence on a Philco cabinet. After stripping the cabinet I have base stain on the vaneer providing color and on the trim no color. Most of the filler techniques suggest staining 1st, but if there is already dark tone such as the vaneer on your 42-761EZ , what makes sense?

Comments on the order of restoration techniques?
1) Spray sealer
2) Apply grain filler
3) Add Toner Laquer? --possibly mask off vaneer so it does not pick up more color,
4) add multiple toner laquer to the trim areas for darkness, and
5) then clear laquer layers on entire cabinebt
