Ok, after listening to all of your experiences and the various horn scenarios, I have decided to keep it and invest in some work on it to bring it up to snuff. THanks for all your sharing of stories and advice, that's what makes this board great!!! John Robles From [email protected] Wed Jul 11 21:21:59 2007 From: [email protected] (Loran T.

Phono-L was knocked off line due to a thunder storm... everything should be back to normal - whatever that means ;) Loran From [email protected] Wed Jul 11 22:30:06 2007 From: [email protected] (john robles) Date: Wed Jul 11 22:32:03 2007 Subject: [Phono-L] Holy moley, I thought my oak horn was patchwork!!

I am familiar with the great work of Steve Farmer in California, but his restorations appear to 'new' for my taste. I am looking for someone who can do a more muted resto so the result appears to have some age to it. I'm not trying to deceive anyone that this is an original finish, just want to to look more 'relaxed'. Can the board recommend anyone? Thanks! John
