I did exactly the same as you with my JL. The picture of the cabinet sitting there looking veyr sorry for itself reminds me of mine. I took it to a shop to be re-vennered because the man selling the kit wouldn't ship overseas. Probably worked out cheaper in the long run. When the workerasked me what it was it just didn't believe me. Once it was all back together again I sent him a picture and he now displays it in his shop.

Taking apart was the easy bit. Putting it together again was more difficult. However, mine was running well so I didn't need to fiddle with mech etc. Hope you took lots of pictures.

I had a local place do work up a quote for me for veneering my "B". They came back with $900. And that wasn't including the veneer! I was looking at about $100-$200 for veneer depending on if the guy could cover the whole cabinet using a 48"x96" sheet or if he would have to buy two.

So.......I'm getting ready to try veneering it myself. Shouldn't be to bad, not to many compound curves to contend with.

Audio - Do you have pictures of your "B" that you stained and refinished? I'd love to see some. I'm always open to suggestion and staining/finishing it might be an option for mine.

Here's some pic's of what it looked like after I gutted it but prior to striping the Di-noc Zebrawood finish:

Brian

I'm really suprised you got quoted so much to have it done. Can't remember exactly what I paid but it was nowhere near that and prices here are usually lots more than over with you. I'd try another quote.

There were a couple of people selling kits for the R a while back. All you need to re-do it. Must have come down in price now.

The only problem with the R & JL is the rounding on the bottom.

I was planning on using both the white vaneer oak as well as dark.  Do you buy in in rolls?

I bought mine through victory glass. They are on line. When I bought it, it was about $150 shipped for a 4 X 8 sheet rolled with paperback.
