Philco Jr 80 cabinet-water stain?
#1

For my 2nd project I brought home a Jr 80 from a craigslist buy a few weeks ago.  The seller had it playing when I arrived but it needs work.  Both the cabinet and the chassis have been wet at some point.  It appears someone has put something on the cabinet, note the finish drips in the circle so I think I'll strip this one.  First question, what are the correct lacquer toner colors for this radio.  I'm guessing Mowhawk Ultra Dark Walnut for the outer section and base pieces and Medium Walnut Toner Finish for the lighter middle section???  Never used these so would appreciate your thoughts.  
The lower discolored veneer is also bubbled on both the front and the sides so I'm going to try Arran's suggestion to Bob on the recent 38-62 restoration post to moisten the veneer, get some glue under the bubbles and clamp it down.  Thoughts?  Thanks!
