Thanks Paul! .. I found some great photos of an original 45 on Ebay. A very good friend of mine has a woodworking setup in his basement... routers, lathes, you name it. He offered to help me make the new top. (Translated - he's gonna make it, and I'm gonna watch..8)) I've got my cabinet stripped and I'm taking it over there tomorrow. He's going to look at it and tell me what kind of wood to buy.

Tomorrow afternoon, I'll go buy the wood and any veneer required and then make the top on Thursday. So if all goes well, I should have some photos soon.
