Well, now that it's consistently above 100 here, I'm finally spending some time on my list of projects!
First up is the little 99K and cabinet. I am working on refinishing the cabinet by patching the veneer in spots, taking off what's left of the old lacquer, and putting some shiny new shellac on. The machine itself will get a good cleaning and a repo hand crank plus a new slide plate. Big plans here! It's going to end up a scrappy little thing, but I think it'll be fun.
I took the cabinet apart last night. It was interesting to see how it was assembled. The corner brackets that held the sides and legs together look like they were made so that you could slide the legs very slightly up or down when assembling. I wonder if these small cabinets were shipped to dealers unassembled and then put together or if they left the plant finished.
