In case anyone missed the other posting, here are the "before" and "after" pics of the 66-S again...
[Image: http://www.philcoradio.com/ebay/66s_before.jpg] [Image: http://www.philcoradio.com/ebay/66s_after.jpg]

Notice how the grille area is toned, yet light enough to just show the pattern of the grain in the wood. This is the look I was after; the edges, sides and top were, and are, heavily toned to opaqueness. My 66-S cabinet had a serious flaw in the right side; the opaque toner helps hide the flaw, although it still shows somewhat even after my attempt at repairing it.

You'll want to do your 45C the same way; light coats of medium walnut on the accent pieces in front; a heavy application of Van Dyke Brown over the rest. Don't forget to go back and add the light-colored stripes in the grooves afterward...
