Hello,
     Trying to restore the cabinet for a model 96.  According to  Radio Museum.org it was made in 1930.  The veneer on both sides is shot and partially missing so I want to replace it.  Does anyone know what they used on cabinets of that era?  Thanks

Tom

Which cabinet style is your cabinet? There was a lowboy, and a highboy, and a third which was a radio-phono combo in a sort of corner cabinet. There are pictures of each in the Philco Gallery for the 1930 model year.

There is some description of the veneers in the 1930 Brochure in our library. Here's the link:
