I'll bet the guy does a fine job repairing motors and reproducers. You should get a quote.

Looks Great! Did you do anything to the original finish underneath, after paint removal this is how it was, after cleaning it?

Very nice save, Chris! I'm sorry you had to deal with that "expert", but it really looks nice.

Chris- Thanks for sharing the "save" with us... You did a real nice job on it. More and more I feel that our fellow phono guys will usually be the best bet when work is needed. There are too many "experts" that have never done a true finish restoration. Glad you have it looking so good--

That sure came out nice. This may sound crazy, but I really enjoy restoring and correcting the mistakes and horrors of previous "expert restorers" :lol: :lol: That's part of the fun with this hobby.
