VV-XVI 2 tone

[bdsummers]

How common are the L-shaped door machines have what looks like 2 different finishes, mahogany and then lighter color on the 4 doors? (2 L-shaped and 2 smaller doors)
I dont see a ton a pictures of these and concerned it may have been restored this way?

Thank you,
Brad

Brad,

The "L-Door" models you refer to would not have dissimilar colors or grains on the door panels unless somebody did a poor refinishing job or the veneer was missing from the doors.

Interesting, so gonna try to attach a picture.
So this could just be the veneer finish came off the doors?

[JerryVan]

The veneer finish isn't missing, exactly. The veneer itself is totally missing. It probably came loose due to high humidity or a flood, so somebody just removed it all and varnished what was left.

Got it. Appreciate the help, saved me some money.
New to the hobby.
Take care
