Does the face still have its original finish? I see the decal is there.

Mine had been redone in "mahogany" varnish, the same color all over. Some of the inlay was replaced with bondo, painted black. As a final touch, the previous restorer stapled the grille to the inside of the cabinet, but used staples that were too long. They poked out through the front, and pushed a few chips of veneer too. I'll bet that guy was really pissed, as he apparently gave up and never used it.

It looks a lot better now but I keep getting the face too dark (looks good in the sunlight where I'm spraying). I think I may try it a third time.
