Uh, the pics on the left are the 'before' pictures. I bought it stained an ugly orangish color. The horn was painted gold. I had the cabinet refinished (actually they had to use a specially mixed stain because the wood, when it had been refinished originally, had been bleached and lost a lot of its natural color), and bought an original horn for it. The gold painted horn was too hard to strip, the gold kept streaking all over the place. I had the metal parts renickeled - on the pics on the left, the nickel is nearly gone. So I took it from ugly duck to nice mahcine, not vice-versa. John

The ones on the left look like the machine after stripping both the horn and case. Why didn't you leave it alone? The original looks pretty good.
