Oh, 'meant to tell you: the plan to pan quickly past the 'phone flickz went as planned. Only it wuz coffee he spilled all over hisself in a panic ta get me ta "GO BACK! GO BACK!"
Needless ta say, he wuz ooohin' n' aaahin' ta beat the band.
N' the last 'phone'a Phil'z wuz pronounced African Mahogany'z best'ee could tell. 'Grain'z right, jus' wuzzn't ready fer all'att red.
But bottom line is that those are some beautiful piecez Phil. I even godda second opinion.
Don: like everything (Sorry. I wuz cleanin' it n' the g key accidentally went off) else, the RCA wuz redone. In some cases it wuz jus' a serious clean-up, in otherz it required disassembly, removal, reproduction n' replacement'a damaged n' unsalvageable parts.
I've seen the "before n' afterz" of a few'uv the pieces n' how he (Richie) can make dried, peeled n' split veneer look original again, I've no idea. I'm sure if I asked, he'd explain it ta me, but I'd likely fergit anyway.
N' I jus' wanna post this again in case any'a you guyz missed it:
