Default Re: Bargain find Roberts Revival

I would remove all the components to leave the bare dog chewed cabinet and then remove all the original coating.
Next get a can of yacht varnish. You need the thick smelly slow setting stuff.
Find something that will colour it such as photo copier toner and mix a small quantity.
Then working between a small pot of natural and the other with the mix you should get a wood grain look. You will need to experiment on a bit of scrap wood.
The badge should stick on with just the varnish if it is laid flat for 24 hours while the varnish sets.
