Arran could probably tell you the exact species of walnut veneer. It looks like two types were used - a somewhat plain type on the top, a somewhat fancier type on the sides and front.

The 41-788 cabinet differs from the 42-788 in that the half-round "columns" to the left and right of the speaker opening are also painted with black lacquer on the 42-788, not veneered with fancy veneer as on the 41-788.

Kirk, if you need larger photos, let me know...
