Not sure where to put this exactly (since it is an item up for sale) but I thought it was a cool project. What a salvage job!!

That's a major rebuild but it sure looks like he did a great job and the price is reasonable.

Beautiful work...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

The comment "low upright bass thud" is an understatement.  Definitly looks like a great restoration. Guess he was set on that red. As most of us know rarely do we get back what we put in on such a restoration, except the satisfaction of really a joyful dedicated learning experience and a job well done.
