I have been working on a pair of large Pioneer loudspeakers from the 1970s for almost a month. They came to me pretty scratched up, and with a couple of plant rings on the tops, but I am now on the home stretch. One really bad (scratched up) bottom to go, and then I can finish oiling them up.
I'll attach a picture that shows how I have already begun the oiling process on some surfaces. This is my favorite part of the restoration process, as I get to see the beautiful walnut grain show through. I'll charge $160 for this restoration.The speakers are now worth about $800. Add that $160 to my MyLot earnings, and it will be a good week for me as far as "money on the side" goes.
That said, the delivery date for my MyLot Porsche remains at 2717. We all know what Hubris did for Achilles. How is your day going? Do you like the look of the oiled walnut? The lighter parts of the surfaces have been sanded, but not yet oiled.

Good thing you enjoy restoring wood finishes... you're making what? 5 cents an hour doing that?
I'll be getting dressed at one point and checking what's happening in the garden. I planted some potatoes, peas and beans on Saturday. I just want to make sure no critter has disturbed them.

@TheHorse Back from my garden check. Just a little disturbance at the beans but the beans themselves still seem to be in the ground.

You're going to like the 2717 Porsches.

@TheHorse I never ask him about the future. I guess I should. I could be putting a lot fewer miles on my Time Machine.

@xander6464 You told me about the time you tried to go back to the Salem Witch Trials and wound up in 1950s Hollywood. I think you need a more modern unit. Do you want me to send you one of my back-ups?

Will the Porsche drive itself by then and maybe talk to us when we are driving?

@TheHorse I know some cars have a feature where supposedly the car parks itself...
