Veneer repair and finish advice for Philco 14MX
#3

I just picked up a 118MX which has some of the same cabinet issues. My top and trim looks solid black and I found an original ad which states black trim too. I quote "A distinctive cabinet, with the patented Inclined Sounding Board, of rich brown mahogany with black trim and myrtle burl center panel".

I used Mohawk's Medium Brown Walnut toner on my 60MX with similar color scheme. Brown Mahogany toner was too red.

After studying the scalloped trim, I came up with a notion to bore holes into some hardwood stock spaced accordingly then slice it in half to produce two pieces of trim. That seems a lot easier that trying to use a router.

Here's a closeup of that trim and the fiberboard back material.
