Arran Wrote:The colour of that cabinet is pretty close to what it should be even if it is a bit banged up, the one in the photo gallery has been refinished improperly as it's all monochrome. That 118L in the other thread should be good as a guide. Do you have some of the missing pieces from the legs or are they gone altogether?

Arran

Thanks Arran for the input. I am checking for the missing pieces to see where I may have stored them several years ago, wish me luck. I have a plan B for a donor cabinet in the works as well.
Can I as what you mean by monochromatic? Did the 118H have areas that were walnut venier and other areas toned darker? Please advise.
