I restore furniture, and have a customer who wants me to refinish his 38-7CS/22CS. The finish is worn through in places on the top, but the rest of the cabinet is fine.
Questions: I watch Antique Roadshow regularly and they constantly preach "leave the original finish". Having looked thru the gallery and seeing there were not many of these made, will the value be lessened if I refinish it?
If I do, what finish to use?
Any ballpark estimate on value?
I am not sure if the unit works. Would it be worth restoring electrically/electronically?
It is missing the center knob, where is the best source for a replacement knob?
Thanks to all in advance!
Pete
