Beomaster 2400 Restoration Problem

Rosewood Veneer
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 27, 2024 15:30Martin, I do agree with Glitch the cabinet looks striking. Had I not known that it was not an original option, I would think it were. And I will preserve any larger pieces I can if I remove them from the BG 8000. John
Rosewood Veneer
