Refinished this nice little silvertone today, recapped and cleaned it up. Plays and looks are great, not bad for $50 off Craigslist last Friday. That's the original grill cloth , never removed it and took quite thinking to refinish with out removing it.

Medium dark walnut stain and clear lacquer called buff coat made by Mohawk, has about 60% sheen . Also used a sealer under the top coat.

Very nice Fred.
I enjoyed looking up those radio station pre-selects !
One from Fort Worth (KGKO) and the other from Frederick, OK (KTAT).
And of course Dallas station KRLD.
Sounds like that was a locally owned radio.
