do you know a woodgrain millionaire?

[aristocrat]

surely you must know one of these woodgrain millionaires?


sitting on their huge yacht  at their private island retreat....

sipping cocktails and enjoying the finest food and wines.....


all due to their 'insight' that people and businesses in the

1960's and 70's would want to cover everything that was

not at the time already covered in woodgrain...with woodgrain


there must be hundreds and hundreds of them but you never

hear of them, they are not famous or well known, just silence


they should be forced to finance by retrospective tax to pay

for all my injuries and wasted hours in removing this stuff....



anyway heres the latest project...

1 down and 2 machines to go.......


just think if we had had google earth in the early 70's then all we

would see would be vrious shades of.... dirty brown striped colour

heres pix of machine feeling a bit better after

shedding its outer layer of woodgrain............

See I'm not the only one that hate the stuff . Friends don't let friends buy any wood grain or this is your machine with wood grain and this  is your machine with out
you be the judge

Was 'Aristocrat' and the other work (can't make it out) painted on top of the woodgrain as well as on the painted underside? Or are they bezels?

Looks great!

[aristocrat]

they are cast bezels with simple pins or lugs on the reverse that

go thru the door panel and are secured by 'clips'

these are three machines i got in a parcel of x18

the Aristocrat Sheerline was one of their first models

but sadly is not collectable in England and are worth

very little, however if you ever see one of these then

give me a call or on second thoughts just buy it and

then give me a call
