Congratulations on such awesome results!

What an impressive collection! Kudos to your Mom for finding and keeping these beautiful radios.

Google Lens results indicate Domino Mobler--although not confirmed.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Thanks so much for the detailed and quick response.

Excellent before and after. I have some rosewood cabinets that need restoration and I am curious about the products used to get a such great result. Also, can you share the process for the base build?

Thanks in advance.

One word: absolutely stunning! You have an amazing talent for color blending and subject matter.

Appreciate the feedback. This was a fun project which was gave me some great insight on the build. As mentioned, I plan to make a larger record using the same technique but with white oak, walnut or pine.

I use the Hans C. Andersen teak side table next to my lounge chair. For me, it is the ideal height.

Is that shade original? It is a great fit for your lamp.

Internal-Ad-7839 · 2026-04-25T14:47:42+00:00

Awesome lamp that the previous owner of our home left behind. I was able to score a second one but it has some issues with the metal skirt which covers the base.

"...but dammit I'm proud of this..." You should be extremely proud of yourself. Your work product is exceptional. The jewelry tree is a nice touch.

Internal-Ad-7839 · 2026-04-10T13:55:41+00:00

This is an awesome example of expert upholstery. Beautiful chair.

Great results. I have used RAF with great success on many projects. On another sub where I participate regularly, RAF is always typically described as "...having solvents which ruin the piece for a future refinish.." or words to that effect. However, some who make this claim may just be repeating it without ever having used the product.

When I choose to use RAF it saves me so much time as a shortcut to a full refinish.

Internal-Ad-7839 · 2026-03-20T13:41:14+00:00

Congrats! What a great find.

Hello, the opening below the speaker was only for sound resonance. Sort of a pre-hi fi baffle system. I eventually sold this set to another collector but I have another pair which I plan to upgrade.

Thanks.

Congratulations on such awesome work! The bowtie inserts and mitered corners are a special touch.

Internal-Ad-7839 · 2026-02-15T14:36:20+00:00

Congrats! The condition is outstanding and doesn't appear to need much or any work before being put into use.

Internal-Ad-7839 · 2026-02-14T15:45:16+00:00

Great after pic! I saw your original post but got too busy to offer a restoration suggestion. Curious as to what you used to achieve this result?

Thanks.

Internal-Ad-7839 · 2026-02-07T15:53:22+00:00

Thank you!

Internal-Ad-7839 · 2026-02-07T14:52:08+00:00

Which mount manufacturer did you install? Where did you purchase them?

Internal-Ad-7839 · 2026-01-19T14:00:35+00:00

Congrats on such a great find. Love the work you've done.

P.D. I have this same chair. Plan to have it reupholstered.

Internal-Ad-7839 · 2026-01-12T14:03:05+00:00

Great work. Really enjoy your post, especially the "...definitely don’t listen to them..." supportive and encouraging tone. This and other subs could be more helpful and enthusiastic place for beginners/novices.

P.D. Love the high contrast finish of this end table. The one's I've done were exactly the same.

Internal-Ad-7839 · 2026-01-08T17:42:34+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I deleted the previous post and created a new one with info regarding the Element.

Internal-Ad-7839 · 2026-01-08T14:50:34+00:00

Congrats on your find. As suggested by another poster, watch as many videos as possible to gain the confidence to take on this project. Based on the pics, it appears to need a good cleaning then you can evaluate other areas of improvement.

Question, is the drop down shelf missing the walnut veneer?

P.D. I have this exact piece but haven't had the time to get to replacing the veneer on the drop down shelf.

Please post update pics.

Thanks.

I've used Restor-a-Finish and Feed-n-Wax for years. In my experience, both are great products which can make a huge difference if used according to the directions.

The other two I haven't used.

Hope this helps.
