4 Radio cabinets finished in one day!
#17

Thanks for the feedback,
Yes the 84 is actually lighter but the pic was dark. I did not go by the original finishes 100%. I used online comparisons to figure out the best finish to match the factory. The 640 is toned perfect brown and medium walnut. the flash may have made it look lighter but I honestly don't remember what it looks like since it is at the other house. I had to go darker on the Halson due to the multiple veneer repairs and water stains on the cabinet. I really wish I had grain filled the front but live and learn. As for the zenith, I hate light walnut, lol
