Very nice! Good score! Icon_thumbup I agree with the others on the cabinet finish, it looks pretty darn good from what I can see in the pictures. Just clean the grand lady up and enjoy her. Even that clean brass look for the bezel kinda looks good, if you like shiney brass.
The rich around my area must have been cheap in the pre-war years. I have yet to stumble on a 'big dog' set from any manufactuer here. Now post-war maggies were common around here, as my big Windsor Imperial will attest to. I will be very envious of you now! Icon_lol
No matter where you go, there you are.
