 Unfortunately for a high end radio Philco still went rather cheap on these, the only higher end veneer is on the raised portions on the front panel, whilst the rest of the cabinet is poplar or maple veneer sprayed with dark shading lacquer, which is often badly flaking by this time. Between the 16B cathedral and the late version of the 116B all of the other '16B cabinets were designed along those lines.
