Thanks, Bob.
So just a little while ago, I applied two coats of Medium Walnut toner to the 610T:

Nice and even. (Edit: The light spot on the side is a reflection from the table, not unevenness in the color.) And I would say the grain is easily 95% or better filled. Next comes the contrasting darker toner on the bottom trim, after the Medium Walnut has a chance to dry some more, plus dark lacquer on the inside edges of the speaker grille. Then a couple coats of clear, wet sanding, a couple more coats of clear, the PHILCO decal, then a couple final coats of clear. This 610T is well on its way to completion.
On my way back outside to put more grain filler in the 42-22CL, and to sand down and seal the 38-2670 again followed by its first coat of grain filler...
