I sort of feel sorry for the seller as he was told it had been restored and he didn't look since the other guy was an old trusted friend who had been a radio/tv repair person. I can't fault him but in a way I do since he didn't look to see what he had done and advertised it as restored. I took have seen the description about how "my tech has completely..." but it looked like junk to me with someone spraying lacquer thick on the wood cabinet. Lessons learned.

this is what "restored" looks like...
