A while ago I posted about a Seeburg  G I found on Craigslist. While It's still not ready, it's making some progress.






In the 50+ years,  someone painted the mech covers disco glitter gold, and the cabinet  primer gray.  The seller claimed he  was playing it up until a few months before it went up for sale. The dust and grime said otherwise.

 

I've been taking pics as we go along,  and posting them at Flickr to document the whole project, so let me skip ahead  to it's current state:





 I am most proud of the front bottom of the cabinet. Most of the  original wood was  missing due to rot and termite buffets,  so a full template wasn't available.  the bottom front is veneered, so you can't see the half dozen pieces that were  glued together then sanded  to  get the shape right.

The cabinet is red oak, with one coat of stain (it is mentioned in my attempt to be humorous in another thread, and yes, this is a self promo )  The only veneer is the bottom front bezel  and the side edges

And while i cringe when i see Cavalier coolers converted to couches  or trailers, I couldn't  see putting back the chrome pilasters that came  from the factory. So while I am usually a pursst, I went with animated light units and white pilasters. I think it  was/is a good choice

Looks awesome Kilroy!
Be sure to keep the thread going with more pics as you go along.

Impressive!  Keep the photos coming!

Actually the chrome pilasters were a conversion kit made by Wico. Factory original equipment was the white pilasters with fluorescents behind them.
