I wasn't sure whether to post here or the ARF so I went with both Icon_wink

The general consensus is to remove the turntable and re-veneer so that's what I'll attempt to do Icon_biggrin

Do you happen to have the original toner color scheme for this set?
I'm guessing medium walnut overall, but am not sure if that inset "L" on top should be darker or lighter.


I also picked up these two sets from the same place. Both seem to have been stripped down to the bare wood and given a clear coat. All the character is gone Icon_sad
