I gave mine, which I have since sold, a sympathetic clean whilst retaining the original finish. That is what most buyers want.

It is a pity that the varnish has been removed though.
Roger, I hope you got over £500 for yours. It looks to be perfect.
You may be missing that it possibly sold to someone in the UK, who paid far less than 200 GBP postage that it would have cost you to ship it to the USA. (I am assuming here that you're in the USA)poodling around wrote: Mon May 17, 2021 12:07 pm Hold on a minute ................

Actually, no, that's not the case. I'm in the UK also and in my Ebay account it came up as a re-listed item with £200 postage for some odd reason.
