Congratulations! (Oh, since these are cabinet questions, I moved this thread to Philco Cabinet Restoration.)

(03-22-2015, 11:24 AM)Fred Taylor Wrote:  Correct toner for 116 tombstone would be what ? Which v pattern cloth is best for 116 tombstone, radio daze or Richman designs ?  Im guessing extra dark walnut around the front face molding and the rest medium walnut for 116 ? Semi gloss or satin ?

Whoa, let's take things one at a time...

Correct toner: Extra Dark Walnut Ultra Classic (dye) toner on the top, sides, and the top, side, and bottom trim surrounding the front panel. This will allow some of the grain to show on the top and sides. Medium Walnut on the front panel itself.

Chevron (V) cloth to use? Richmond Designs.

Semi-gloss or satin? Neither. The original final finish was gloss. If you really don't like high gloss then use semi-gloss, but I would definitely not recommend satin.
