Astro-Cupboard

Bought this from a ' second hand ' shop about 2 weeks ago at Kilcoy.
Reckon she'll come up nicely after a ' sand back ' and new vanish.
I'll use it as a writing desk and put some of my ' astro gear ' in the cupboard below.

I've taken the doors and ' brass ' handles and hinges off it and started sanding it.
Will buy new hinges .... not to sure if I can obtain new handles like these.
I could sit down and ' polish ' with brasso to see how they come up.

This type of furniture is just not made anymore.... 2 ' sliders ' at each end to support the top as it folds down.
The top is also supported by a ' small chain ' as it is opened fully..... this is not seen on the pics as it is missing.... will be easy to fix that.
