On radiograms this is usually both sides, and the top (but will be assessed whether they need stripping and sanding when we receive it). Inside usually does not need work however will be assessed. All colours that are black will be stained back in a black gloss or satin finish, as with all other timber areas will be finished in a gloss or satin (or to match any panels as close as possible -> for example the top and sides look glossy therefore all other timber panels will be also finished in a gloss. The colours will be black and close to gold or teak golden brown (refer to original picture included). We are unable to finish this colour to exactly same as the original from 1960s as colour and timber changes over time. The aluminium legs will be resprayed back to gold colour as per original. The dials and plastics will be cleaned to remove dirt, grime and rust, however will not be resprayed. Any non-working hinges or other rusted parts such as screws etc will be changed as well. New speaker wire will be replaced with fabric to closest colour and pattern possible of black and gold (we will mail you a sample to confirm which one you want along with photos towards the end of the restoration)

Speakers will be assessed but not fixed unless required to do so (additional cost however low risk these need fixing).
