[trinescope]

I have begun the process of stripping the old finish off the cabinet. The only real challenge is going to be the fake burl sections on the front doors. The finish is alligatored, and there is too much damage for these to be saved. The only options I can think of are using vinyl decals or installing actual veneer. Unfortunately I'm not so free at the moment to just walk into a woodworking store and have a look around. Any opinions on what would be best here?

As far as the electronics, I messed with the convergence adjustments again and got a bit better result overall. About the only thing left is cleaning the tuner so it stops acting intermittent. Everything else seems to be remaining stable. This set would never make a useful daily driver anyway (nor would I expect it to be) since the picture is dim and small compared to pretty much everything that came after, so as long as it looks and operates half decent I will be happy with it as it is.
