Oh, mine has been stripped, there is no doubt of that. If you could see this actual radio, you would agree. The original PHILCO decal remains, but overall it's pretty rough-looking.

All of these should have been two-toned (116B with shoulders, 650B, 640B, 630B, 620B). Van Dyke Brown on the top, sides, columns and top & bottom edges; Medium Walnut on the front panel.

Edit: I used to own a shouldered 116B that had its original finish, and it was definitely two-toned in the colors mentioned above.

I formerly owned a 650B with the correct two-tone color scheme. Ditto a 640B. And I've seen enough of them that I am convinced they should all be two-toned.

The columns and trim are "white wood" and just don't look good unless they are toned. As an example, I see so many 620B sets that have been stripped and refinished in a "monotone" look (in other words, they look like my 650B photo above) that it sickens me.
