Hello, Ron: I have a 118B I recently did a chassis resto on. It is a FANTASTIC player now.

However, the cabinet will be "challenging." I must "reskin the cabinet side about 1/2 way down one side of the cabinet.

What kind of veneer should I use for this?

Additionally, what color toners do you recommend. I think the sides and portions of the front would be dark or extra dark walnut, the two "scallops" in front a light walnut or even left natural. BUT, the original center portion appeared to be more of a red color.
