The "before" photo reminds me of the first tombstone I ever owned, an RCA 5T1. It had been painted orange, yuck. This was back around 1976 or so. It turned out to be the first cabinet I ever refinished, also. If I had known then what I know now...I was young and did not know then that polyurethane was not the proper finish for an old radio cabinet.
Do you still have it these days Ron?
