I have a Model 118H specifically in mind but this is a general cabinet question.

With a deteriorated finish from age that is checked, peeling, darkened, etc. how can a person tell what was the original Philco wood finish. Walnut? Oak????

Also I have a problem with a 118H legs, looks to be laminated wood that was stained. Could the base wood have been poplar? If not what other wood?

Thanks,

Mike
