Nice Looking Orthophonic 8-9 in Morgantown, WV

Post by JerryVan »

I'd be "on it" if I didn't have one. I think the grill cloth could be neatly repaired. Would be nice to have better pictures though...

Last Sunday I went with a friend who was interested in seeing this (460 miles round trip) and was disappointed to find it had been repainted. We left it there.

Bummer!

I had hoped the blue areas looked bright due to simply being in good condition. I was a little suspicious however due to the lack of shading. Many times however, "neat nicks" feel to the need to clean-up those dirty looking shaded accents.

Thanks for the update!

What I don't understand it's how in hell that guy resisted the temptation of painting the doors in green too... Once you've got there, brush in hand, and the green paint pot is opened... :D :D :D
