Philco 650 restoration.
#2

Well, Audin, I can understand about not being happy with your work. I've been there, more than once. But in the photos, it looks to me like you've done a very good job of repairing that cabinet. Icon_clap

Now for toning it, you can see in your first photo what parts need to be toned Extra Dark Walnut - basically, all of the trim including the speaker grille and surrounding trim, the long trim up the sides of the front panel and speaker grille, the top and bottom trim. The top of the cabinet and the sides will need Medium Walnut. It should look great when you're finished. Many of these cabinets do not get refinished properly, and lose some of that dark trim they should have.

Good job so far...and good luck finishing it up!
