WOW. I don't know what else to say, except it is a beauty. Icon_thumbup Icon_clap How does she sound?

From what I've seen of the Hagstar's previous restorations, I have no doubt it sounds just a good as it looks.

Welcome, John! Glad to have you aboard.
Congratulations John, that is sure a beauty!

Thanks for the link to your restoration steps, that was an education all by itself!
VERY nice! Color me impressed! The 690 has been on my short list for many years now, they tend to be elusive and pricey. Well done!!

I recently got a 37-116 and have gotten it squared away and playing. It is easily the best sounding set that I have! I can only imagine how great a 690 model sounds.

I'm speechless John. Oh Em Gee!
