“REPAINTER or ORIGINALIST?”

  • I would strip and repaint the cabinet to make it perfect, like it was in 1971, right out of the box. 31 votes

  • It would be blasphemous to repaint that cabinet. It's only original once so I would touch up that puppy. 23 votes

  • I would neither repaint it nor touch it up. Life is too short. I would put it in my line-up as is and play it. 33 votes

Appearance is important. If it bothers you, then have the cabinet repainted. If it doesn't, leave it alone.
