Thanks! The phonograph actually tilts out, the whole framed section around the speaker cloth tilts out. The veneer is nice but it is in bad shape. I was actually going to ask whether I should refinish it. There are a lot of gouges and scratches and I actually saw one for sale online that was partially stripped. It looks like I could sand it and refinish it pretty easily. I like the petina on it but I don't think I could clean it up enough.
