The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I love how it looks nicely aged. Not the least bit gaudy, like every gold-plated restoration I've ever seen. Superb.

I must agree your restoration looks excellent and has an original feel to it.

Nice Job - thanks for sharing.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a bad case of phono lust now.

Decal arrived today from Gregg Cline. I am letting the finish cure for a few weeks before I matte it down a bit. But here are a few before and afters.

Truly Amazing Wyatt...!

That phono sure wound up with the right person.

The Gold looks properly "aged"...not "redone". Old "Tom" would be proud.

Congrats..

You are the "Master" on this one..!


Now to only "master" Case Color Hardening/Oxidation!...on future projects!....lol..

Simply stunning! Congratulations to another masterpiece.

As Rene mentioned, there's no "gaudiness" about it. You'd never know the gold had been restored, and once the cabinet finish has been matted, the entire machine should flow together. Congratulations, Wyatt!
