Hey friends!
I am restoring a 1950 Hammond C-2 organ along with a JR-20 tone cabinet.
For context, I’ve included pictures of the organ and tone cabinet showing the way they look now.
I have decided on a complete refinish of the woodwork. The original finish was a tinted lacquer, so I will be stripping and sanding down to the veneer. Tips on making this process easier are appreciated.
But the real challenge for me will be in the replacement finish. I want my organ to look like this:
A beautiful satin black finish.
Can you guys, with all your experience and expertise, give me some tips on how to achieve this look?
I appreciate all of the knowledge represented here. You’ve never let me down!
