Hi Ed
Barry used Van Dyke Brown on the top, sides and trim of my 650B cabinet. If I had it to do over again, I would have asked for Extra Dark Walnut, but nevertheless, mine looks one heck of a lot better than it did originally!
Actually, Ed, it is Van Dyke Brown that has the greenish cast in bright light, while Extra Dark Walnut is redder.
Yes, the dark parts of the cabinet are toned to the point that the grain does not show.
Hope this helps - Good luck with your cabinet!

Thanks for the information MrFixr55. It's tube amplification and not solid state.
