The console being restored is E.H. Scott Philharmonic.

The text is in Russian, but what matters is the pictures.
Appreciate the effort and dedication.
He modified the cabinet just a little.
See how he re-chromed every single detail and with what quality.

I am impressed.

BTW, audiophiles (this is an audiophile website) do not just change the axial paper caps - the re-stuff them, so one would think the old paper caps were never changed.

The guy is the host of that website, Sergey Lisovin, a well-respected old specialist in audio.

PS. I could never imagine to bring myself to put this much effort in restoration. But, audiophiles - they are crazy. Icon_smile
