This one is finally done! Two years in the making. Home projects get in the way Icon_sad

The leather looked awful, especially next to the freshly refinished cabinet. I stripped it and used Acrylic Leather Paint and sealer to recreate the original look the best I could. It's not factory original, but it will do. The Grille cloth is from Richmond Designs, and the gold really pops when light hits it.

All in all, I am happy with the results. I wish I had room for it, but it's just too big. You can't even extend the antenna to full height when it's on the table. Icon_smile

Once the swap meets open up again, I'm going to try and sell it.

Enjoy!!
