Good job! That cabinet looks great -- just like new. It's amazing what a coat or two of stain or toner can do for the looks of a vintage TV.

Where can the toner you used (or a similar brand) be found? You gave me an idea when I saw those pictures. I'd like to refinish my desk in the same color as your TV's cabinet (the desk is 18 years old and is starting to show its age; time to refinish). Mahogany and walnut are two of my favorite types of wood; I have three Zenith radios here, one in a walnut cabinet, the other two in mahogany, and I just love the way they contrast with the rest of my furniture. If I like how it turns out on the desk, I think I might refinish my TV stand in the same color.

Thanks in advance.
