I am going to be starting a project to restore a Philco 116X for a customer. The cabinet has been refinished a couple times even painted white once. As it sits now it has been stripped and cleared with shellack. The owner wants it refinished to original as possible.

Question 1: Was the toner used on the main body of the cabinet Medium Walnut?

Question 2: What toner should be used on the grill bars and trim?

Question 3: What sheen would the original finish have? I was thinking either Semi-Gloss or Satin?!?

Thanks!

-Keith
