I'm willing to bet that a good cleaning will do wonders for this cabinet, along with a little touch-up here and there. I have no plans to refinish it. The cabinet is in really good shape overall, including the photo-finish. I just highlighted the flaws in the pictures.

I've located a reproduction escutcheon and knobs. Those will have to wait for next payday. The first thing to do is going to be ordering literature from Chuck Schwark. The schematics on Nostalgia Air for this one look like they were received on a 1990's fax machine.

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
