In my opinion I would use some glidden wood grain paint and slop it on heavy like people seem to do and thing it is refinished. Icon_lol

That radio has very nice veneers so dont kill it with toner. I agree with Ron on the color scheme. Perfect brown has that reddish tint you want but medium brown is more just a walnut color.
Problem with rattle cans is uneven finish. It takes more sanding to get that flat finish ready for waxing. or buffing.

I just got a 155 and cant wait to get her up to par.

post lots of updates and pictures.
