The finish was toned dark around the grill, arch edges, and base trim. It was faded into a lighter finish around the knobs. http://www.ppinyot.com/philco20/IM000001.JPG this one looks to have the original finish so you can see how the repairs could be hidden under. Also try not to remove any loose veneer, place the solid wood between the thin (inner/outer) pieces so they, for one help hold it in and two, you wont have any cross grain breaks to fix.
