Complete novice at cabinet restoring.I am converting this 46-1213 radio cabinet into a tv stand.The electronics fit perfectly where the old phono went,and the smaller door on the right is ideal for a gaming system.Its a present for my brother.It doesn't have to be perfect but i would like to make it as nice as i can.Where do i start.Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!!Thanks can't seem to upload pic,it keeps saying too big.I would gladly send a private email to one of you experts.
