David, once again you're working wonders.

Good luck with that restoration. With the Panatrope tonearm stuck on there, it may be one of the better-performing Silvertones in existence once you are done, even if that is like dropping a racing engine in a Ford Pinto.

Another update.

I’ll sand the veneer patches down tomorrow when the glue is dry.

David

It's coming back from the dead... you are doing a good job. Maybe it won't be a candidate for firewood after all...

Here’s an update:

I finished removing all the veneer from one of the sides today. I’ll work on the other side tomorrow.

David

Another update:

I am going to be applying the veneer on the sides tomorrow.

David

Veneer is now on the sides!

David

Great work... I thought that thing was a goner for sure...

David, you're going on at a fast pace! Very good! The staining and so on will go slower, but the beauty of your work will shine out! You'll end with a nice machine to use!

I stained the cabinet this afternoon. I’ll start finishing it this weekend.

David

I am going to try and get the color on the new veneer matched a little better but here is what it looks like now.

Cheers

David
