I know this is an old thread.... but I wasn’t happy with the end result of my restoration on the home. And after working on my herzog cabinet, I wanted to have a phonograph that would be worthy of going on top of it when it’s done.
I stripped all the shellac off the cabinet (and decal), grain filled the wood, lightly stained it again, and re (re?) finished it! I am
Much more please with how it looks now! I’ll put a new decal on when I have a break from school.
Cheers

Great job!!! Most of us would have used what you started with for parts. You brought this one back to life. Awesome.

Very nice job. There is a special bond that comes from bringing one back.

I agree. I just need to order the brass mandrel bearing and I can finally listen to it!
