• Restoration attributes: The cabinet was refinished to original factory offering. Most of the undercarriage hardware was powder coated (silver), including the insides of the end plates. Nylon bushings were installed at nearly all rotation points (to limit wear), reducing friction, and requiring no lubrication. The aluminum end plates and all other hardware were polished to a high luster. Professionally machined knee levers were custom made. They fold to perfect alignment. The cabinet's underside was lined with red velvet. All old cadmium-plated screws were replaced with stainless steel replicas.
