Here's a photo of an 81 in Ron's gallery showing the lighter center and darker outer sections. I believe the 81 is very similar to the 80 in color. Here's a thread where Ron suggests Mohawk toning lacquers in the colors of Perfect Brown Ultra Classic for the outer section and Medium Walnut for the center.
Toning lacquers and clear lacquer were used for finishes, not stains. Some folks use spray machines some use rattle cans depending on their skill level. There are threads in the cabinet section on how folks have restored cabinets.
