Finally finished! Did I set a record for slowest build? I started last year just before having to move my residence. Well it sounds great with my setup and now I can play the records I got back in high school. Thanks bottleheads!

Nice banding on the base, good looking build. Interesting that you oriented the transformer end to the front.

Oh no! I built the thing backwards!!! Just joking -the plate  is just flipped around. No worries!

The base is the kit's original base stained Minwax antique pine and the banding is from Rockler Woodworking. 2 coats of polyurethane after staining. The bell is Rustoleum metallic bronze. That's it.

Looks neat congrats on being up and running, I have one or two build projects that  seem to have been on hold for ages, funny how life just gets in the way and that happens.

Shoot for the moon if you miss you will still be amongst the stars!
