Philco did not apply any special attention to the inside of the cabinet. Clean, dirt free is good....

Other brands applied different kinds of interior finishes. RCA was black until around 1935-36, when they went to silver.

Zenith used an inky-dark blue to the interiors. Not sure when they started this.
