Hello,

I have a 38-2 cabinet ready to finish. What color toner(s) is appropriate for this model if I want it to look "original".

There is also a small "divot" on the top. It's about 1/8"x1/16". Any thoughts on what to do with it? That is, other than setting something on top of it Icon_smile .

Thanks,
Greg

Hello,

Any suggestions on which color toner to use? I think the 38-2 cabinet may be next in line. The chassis has been restored for a while and is currently homeless.

General recommendation is medium walnut overall and ex dark walnut for the trim.
