At least he did not paint or stain it hot pink or blue.

I think it looks very nice even though not original color. The most important question is, do YOU like it?

I think he was curious about the finish being the same on the inside of the doors as it is on the outside. Jerry

I'm a little confused.....there is already a pic posted with the doors open and showing the interior and color. You just need to go back to the beginning of this thread.

I think you did a great job. The color is uniform. Sounds like you put in a lot of work to get the color you wanted that matched other things you own. It is a big tent; not everything has be be restored to precise, original condition with original parts.

Also, I think this machine is very different than most because of the vertical record slats.
