Hi , I am looking for some advice on how to finish a $5 garage sale Transitone PT-12 .I arleady changed caps and found that there was a blown rectifier tube .This radio cabinet is in bad shape .Veener is loose and the whole cabinet is coming unglued .So no big deal to spray the black grill work seperately .My question is what can I do to replicate the light colored band that is along the lower part of the radio and boarderd with black pinstripes? Is it a photofinish ? Or just a good detailed opaque lacquered area ? This "band" is typical of many Philcos .I think to refinish this radio without it would be disappointing . I appreciate any pointers anyone has for this ! Thanks

Bill
