I've got a 60's Voice of Music turntable that I am considering painting the wooden base. Not really a historic turntable, and certainly not worth a dime, but the original finish on the base is just plain butt ugly - I am thinking a deep red enamal would go well with the flawless charcoal finish that is on the turntable frame.

you can see the "refinish" one results up in antique radio forum, the x334 pic.
The ugly brown not here yet. thanks for the on paint. Maybe a 2 tone art deco scheme. even tho its 60s.
