I have checked out my stored FT machine today and I wonder if the cabinet is faded or not. My other FT machine is faded so I have no reference machine to compare the cabinet with.

Pull the lockdown bar. Unfaded red will be there. Then compare. Chances are it's faded a little at least. The bottom of the front looks great.

That's actually really nice, as almost all of them are terribly faded

Faded.

Also, If the head is folded, you'll see the real color under where the hinges are usually placed when the head is up

Mildly faded, but better than 90% of any other original cabinets.

That's better than most, but still faded. Judging from the front, the top should be a deeper red, and the middle should look about like what your top is like.

Just took a picture of mine to compare, and I think the flash washes it out, when I look at the pic it looks lighter than the real one I'm staring at...

Here it is, for what it's worth...

Pull your lockdown bar, then shoot another pic...

Or remove a leg, you should see the difference from the part that was protected by the leg.

Yeah yours isn't too faded, there are certainly worse out there.

Thank you for all answers. I did remove a lockdown bar and took two pics of the front. The problem is that the machine is not accessible from the side at the moment because it is stuck in a row of machines left and right of it (no need to ask about the No Fear cabinet fade on the right side of it ). Here are two pics with lockdown bar removed.
