TO: JERRYHAWTHORNE - it sure does seem to be addicting to fix these things up. As a kid, we had a blonde 53-1750 (may actually be B-1750). I believe they made this model as only in the Mahogany stain in 1953, but in 1954, then introduced the Blonde color and called it B-1750 (B for Blonde?). The one I fixed up is the Mahogany but I just purchased the Blonde one from 1954 - that's the color we actually had as a kid and so I'm going to bring it back to life. That blonde model seems to be extremely rare. After that, I don't know - if I bring any more I may have to move to a bigger house. Cheers.
