Here is a 1916 Victrola XVII in mahogany i am working on restoring. Its rough sanded to 120, now need to sand to 220. The last 17 i did was in 2019, i had forgot how much hand sanding was involved, its a daunting task but worth it in the end as the final result is stunning. I have two more 17s after this one but will have to take a break to start on a budget model VV-80 (a customer who has sentimental attachment to it).
