Hi Ron:
I have a Canadian 345 and I have seen it mentioned a couple times the dark colour is Extra Dark Walnut and not black. My cabinet is 100% original never refinished and without a doubt it is black not Dark Walnut. I have a couple other original finish Philco radios and it is clear on them that the dark colour is Extra Dark Walnut and along side the 345 the difference is very clear.
Just my observations.
