My Seeburg G had the chrome plisters in it. I was told that this was done at the factory and Seeburg C had the light up plisters?

I guess I'll have to wait untill I get on my home PC to see the pictures but I'll take the others word for how it looks, can't wait to see for myself!

My M100B that I finished up a couple of years ago had a ton of termite damage as well. I ended up getting a good used cabinet from John Durfee for a what I considered a good price. I wasn't quite ready to try and build a cabinet from scratch, that's awesome!

I also think the metal pilaster is original as my set of original Seeburg Manuals has this juke pictured with the metal pilasters.
I believe there where several reproductions for the "G" to add the illuminated pilasters...  If my memory serves me, the Seeburg "J" is almost identical to the "G" except the "J" has illuminated pilasters for original equipment.

I agree.. the G generally came with the chrome the W had the optional Lightup pilasters as well as the J model.
My all original G has the chrome pilasters.

Whoops...
As stated, it's the Seeburg W that is similar to the "G". Below are the examples...

Top     --> Original Seeburg G
Middle  --> Seeburg G w/ illuminated pilasters
Bottom --> Original Seeburg W

The chrome pilasters on mine were in decent shape, no major dings or dents, but I thought the animated units would look better. Once we fitted them  in the cabinet, and  plugged in the units, I realized I made a good choice.

And besides the patchwork pilasters, and diamonds on the grills, the W was not High Fidelity, unlike  the G.

Finally, thanks everyone for the support. Hopefully weather permitting, will finish the staining and inside paint, then move on to  the mechanics. This will also give me some time to find  replacement chrome pieces for the selection button section. While not pitted to bad, each end has cracks, and it may be cheaper to find better pieces than  try to repair before  re chrome

Plans are also in the works to add blue neon underneath.  It was suggested by my friend Randy who is helping me with this project, and clinched when Pat, Johnie G and I stopped at a going out of business sale at a Pep's Boys. If it looks to goofy, they were only half price, so I can sell them to my neighbor to finish tricking his 4 door Dodge Neon  tounge

I think the blue lights will look great on the chrome.. You did a hell of a job on that cabinet.  Can't wait to see it stained.
