Santa Snoopy enjoying my unrestored 89-B, in a semi-darkened room. . . . well, it's had some done to it. . . had THREE coats of paint on it when I got it. It does play a tiny bit as it is, with some hum.
It may get restored sometime in the future. I'll let you guys know when...( just listen for the "H-E-L-P!!!" )
