Wharfedale W70 cabinet finish

[jamesrpm]

Know what is used to finish the cabinets on W70 speakers. Mine are walnut wood , but a piece about 6 inchs long was broke off one edge. I got a new piece fitted but don't know what to finish it with to match.

Anyone miss this first time around?

Whatever the original stain, it has darkened over the last 50 or so years. My W70s look like a dark walnut.
If you haven't stained wood before, pay close attention to the instructions. Stain darkness is usually determined by the length of time it is allowed to stay on the surface.

How would I tell the age ? Serial # or features? or ??
