Re: Replacement woodgrain for bezel?

1973 - 1974 = Dark Walnut
1975 - 1976 = Burlwood
1977 = Chestnut

The wood grain was replaced with a brushed metal finish in 1978 that continued up into the 80's.
They went back to a wood grain in some of the R/V series around 89 or so but I don't remember seeing any specific name for it in the brochures.

Thanks Ray!
