Good Morning. I have a Victrola that has been gone through mechanically and runs beautifully. The issue is the cabinet. It is badly checked from being exposed to sunlight over the years.
I am definitely one who likes to keep my phonographs in original condition, as much as possible. However, this old machine needs some cosmetic help. I don't want to strip and refinish the Victrola, but am looking for a way to restore and rejuvenate the original finish. I have seen a few posts in the past regarding the use of Kotton Klenser. I am looking at their products on the web. Do these products, help to smooth out the original finish or do they strip it off for refinishing. I can't tell a lot from the web site. Do you use just the Kotton Klenser with the 0 steel wool, or do you use the protective wood feeder as well? I would appreciate some advice as to it's use from those with experience. Thank you.

A repo horn if fine. What would be an average price of either that we should look for. I don't want her to pay too much for one. She has been hooked on the phonographs since we have been together playing my machines. It's been a while since I have had a Standard -A and it only played 2 minute cylinders. And never had a fireside to get an idea of a price range. She was on e-bay last night and was bidding on a fireside w/ 2 and 4 minute gearing and was out bid. She was very disappointed. So I told her I would ask the Phono-list on what pricing to look for and not pay too much for a nice working machine if we run across one. So can anyone help Thanks, Keith
