My first contribution to the stand alone tape forum is a project that I completed earlier this year. Many of you who own the so called wood cabinets that house the Teac X1000 and X2000 know the cabinets are junk. They are made of cheap, very lightweight wood with a cheap plastic vaneer. I recently decided to do an overhaul of my X2000 cabinet using some cherry wood laminate, some wood dye to keep the deep grain in the natural laminate and I used some wipe on Minwax Polyurethane semi gloss. I amazed myself with the end product. Total cost about $150. Everybody loves the before and after shots so here we go.
Here is the cabinent covered with the cherry wood laminate
Here is the cabinent with the wood dye applied. Note the depth of the grain.
Here is the finished product with the hand wiped poly semi gloss
Here is the completed cabinet with the X2000
Good fun!
