4 Radio cabinets finished in one day!
#16

OldRestorer, I'm by no means a expert particularly on finish. Yours look great other than the small radio which appears to be in need of grain filler. In general the toning on your radios don't seem to match color wise with the "before". I recognize that they may not have been original finishes or may have darkened in some cases over time. Pictures and lighting will change things. Specifically the Philco 84 seems very dark compared to the before. Again, I don't know squat but you asked for opinions. The console looks very nice but then again, maybe a little "light". No toner? Nice finish and looks great.
As I said, I know nothing.
Best and come out and work on my Fada finish.
