I think , for one it is beter to restore than to junk! I like that they replaced the veneer, rather than try to patch the existing ,and look like Shit , like a lot of restorations look like. I fix and restore a lot of radios , phonographs and some juke boxes for myself and freinds, and I don't do shitty work. I won't do anything that I wouldn't want for myself, as far as finished quality. I get some terrible stuff from supposedly restorers who are on registered websites , that I would be ashamed to ask money for.You people need to get a life and not criticise people who are trying to keep something going on for others to enjoy instead of destroy , or tear apart and sell in pieces rather than sell as good working machine. I realize that there are alot of machines that are good for nothing but parts. I believe that we should try to keep thees machines going for eterninty, but they should work and look good not beat up and cobbled up! Stop being like a bunch of old women at a quilting bee, bitching about old men! Thank you!
