Well, it arrived today, and there is good news, and there is bad news. The good news is that it seems to have arrived in sound condition. The finish is shot and will have to be re-done on the top and sides. The photofinish seems OK. The speaker cloth is immaculate, and makes me VERY happy with my choice of that whiskey rayon on my earlier one. In great shape this looks very much like it, just lighter a bit. I won't have to replace this cloth.
