Also, should the darker section on the top and sides be opaque or should you be able to see the grain through it? I've seen some refinished ones that seemed to be opaque. The original examples I've seen so far have so much flaking it's hard to tell. My 640B has a decent finish on the front but the top and sides are flaking too horribly to tell what was originally there.

Thanks,
Geoff
