    Haha thank you for you selfless offer, I do quite like them, im hoping the new rack (when it eventually appears) should sit a little lower and the head bookends frame the player a little better

    I'd recognise Toppsy's speaker work anywhere Lee,
    the Eddingdales are crackin' in the (I think) Zebrano finish.

    Loved my time with mine,
    they did the rounds with Members on AOS.
    Ok with not having it on Betamax nowadays

    Thank you and yes they're Zebrano finish. I believe they were naturally finished but 'varnished' by the previous, original.owner. I believe he had some slight changes made in the building of yhese, though im not sure what.
