The few I've seen like that were either this putrescent green with what appeared to be a wiping of a brown stain the color of excrement, or "antique white" or whatever tasteless shortcut was in vogue in the '60's and '70's; decades not noted for their tastefulness.

TBH, that finish is not "artistic" as the listing says, it looks like finger paint..... if your going to paint something, do it right!

It is most unfortunate. Sadly, though, we can't save them all. Would that we could.

Agreed. There is nothing chic about these dreadful paint finishes, but they are certainly shabby.

Seller states s/he put a regular Led Zeppelin record on it and it worked ([once?])! What kind of needle does one use for Led Zeppelin: steel or fiber?! :shock:
