I have stripped the old finish off a Philco 38-17. The top which roles over to the front has three vertical bands of wood which appear to be the same kind of wood, but the middle band is lighter in color. There is also a horizontal strip across the front bottom. The sides of the radio appear to be a differnt kind of wood with not a lot of obvious grain. Can you tell me what kind of wood(s) I have? Should I use a wood filler and if so what color(s)? After using a filler and sealing what color stain(s) should I use? I'd like to create something close to the original color and finsh as possible. Thanks.
