I have recapped this large Marconi model 86.  It plays quit good.
 
      I have stripped the cabinet and using Mohawk toned lacquer I did the areas that needed to be done.
 In these photos it is now ready for the final coats of clear lacquer 

 The cabinet is very solid and heavy,but well built

 When it is all done i will post more photos.
