I can't help with the horn restoration but I can offer some good advice on the cabinet refinish. If the case is going to be refinished, please please please fill the grain. A mahogany phonograph should have a "piano" finish. When light is reflected off the finished surface, it should look as smooth as possible. You should not notice the grain of the wood in the reflection. Jerry Blais __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
