Ew! As far as original wood finishes go, I'm a perfectionist and can't stand alteration to a quality piece like a Victor machine. I haven't had much luck either around my house, as it's the family home and there's about four different generations worth of furniture in here, unfortunately during the 60's-70's a few people got bored with the decor and decided to get "creative" with a lot of the old pieces, and to this day I'm scrapping yellow/brown/orange/etc. paint off of everything! So this one really hits home for me...
Colorwise I don't even know what to call that, it looks like some kind of chartreuse/mustard yellow on my monitor!
