To refinish, or not to refinish...

[Adam]

I just had the same dilemma myself with that RCA 721TS, that finish wasn't really bad but it wasn't great, it had scratches, some vineer missing on the bottom, finish off in a few places, but it was the original finish and it wasn't that bad, in the end I sanded it a bit with some 600 sandpaper, went over a few spots with some stain on a rag and then sprayed over the whole thing with clear laquer in a can. It looks good from across the room, but you can see all the problems with it close up. I have it sitting next to my Hoffman 610 which was originally really bad and I totally refinished (someone even had carved their name in it), but now the Hoffman looks better than the RCA, and I'm still debating whether I should have completely refinished the RCA.
