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
