Hello to all;
posting photos of my partially "restored bursting cherry / brown front. another one that lingered on e-ban for awhile but, the seller was local & he cut the price to move it along. Original paint was long gone removed & a bad attempt to redo it "to help sell it". all of the wood was dried out enough for all the glue to be gone = all pieces were separated from each other . very rough castings all in all. this was still attached to the Mills safe stand it had always been on (with the lock destroyed & still locked).
chose these colors over the factory ,since they were kinda ugly too.
still have a little work to go on it. but it played as it should from the start.
1st image as I bough it.
thank you for looking. jeff H.
