I agree. I once had a Vic VI which was 'Farmerized' by Steve Farmer. It was a gorgeous piece of woodwork with that smooth grain. I want this machine to be a showpiece, so I am gonna go the extra mile to get it that way. J

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.
