it's now time to send the cabinet off to a restorer as I have never Finished a Cabinet
the 2nd picture is with all the Crappy green removed, it's actually in Excellent condition under all that paint from the 60's.
I think it is Walnut?? it's too light of wood .. maybe someone knows this also..I don't think it's Mahogany
almost all the tubes are original, it performs great, bearing in tuner is gone, so I will open it up sometime and hope only the bearing fell out and the Holder is not broken.
this set is one of my favorites.
I've had three 630's over the years and have seen many others - all originals and all with a walnut finish. I don't believe there was options on that '46 model. I had a '48 8TS30 that was mahogany. I think at that point there was the typical mahogany, walnut, and blonde options.
