The base is so worn out I can't tell if it is darker than the rest of the cabinet.

Thoughts on how I should tone this up???
There is a very good picture of a 41-180x ands looks to be factory finish in the gallery section, you can use that picture as a guide for your color choices Icon_eek The base looks like extra dark walnut, there is photo finish on that set , and should not be messed with unless its screwed  up, and redoing that is a different matter Icon_wave
