A discussion of cabinet finish.

[Chad Hauris]

Personally I like to keep the original finish...usually some Old English scratch cover polish will really help it look better. Unless the refinish was done meticulously to match the original color/lustre something looks kind of unusual or off about a refinished old radio/TV to me.
I have some TV's and organs which have severe damage to the finish from rain and these will need some kind of refinishing. I will admit to having painted some of these really nasty looking cabinets and it did make them look a lot better.
