Wow what a fantastic thing! Just looked at RMorg photos, it's lovely & does deserve to look it's best, but having said that I do think if it can be made presentable (to the owner's eye) without full restoration that would be more suitable.

All a matter of opinion really but unless something was really wrecked, or was the only example left, I think there's a lot to be said for leaving evidence of it's long life and the hardships it's survived visible & not refinishing. I understand it's a different finish & material, but the Bush radiogram I recently acquired has responded very well to a simple clean up & dose of teak oil, quite shockingly so in fact.

Will be following this thread with interest.
