You don't waste any time, BrendaAD! I really love those old consoles! I've used that red mahogany before, with a blend of early colonial, seems to get the tone in the ballpark. After I did the 42-400, then I realized (from this phorum) that the way to go is with the toning lacquer (which I will do in the future). I realize that your options are limited, "way over yonder", but am sure that whatever you do will make a vast difference to the cabinet! What kind of stations do they play over yonder, or do you just install an Ipod and play your own? Icon_thumbup
