I was thinking about that. 150 seemed heavy to me as well. After re-reading, Gary mentioned 150 just to flush the new veneer with the sides of the rest of the cab. I think going lighter is definitely a good call. I just realized I somehow missed Gary's link to his linseed application and cap job for his H-700s. Just read it and it answered many of my questions. I plan on going with whatever boiled linseed oil I can find at the local HD.

Can somebody link me to the correct badge style just so I can see what I am looking for? What words should I be using to reference the correct ones? I am seeing lots on fleabay for around $10 which doesn't seem bad to me.. but are they correct? https://www.ebay.com/itm/174029820670

Alright, after more reading, I cancelled my order of Howard's products. After reading Gary Anderson's post abt using boiled linseed oil, I am highly interested in that. Stunning color and just phenomenal looking results. I can get the oil locally from HD but will just any ol' boiled linseed oil work? Where can I find more information on this process? Also, I'd be interested in hearing some advice on sanding. I've seen some people saying to sand with the grain using 0000 steel wool but I think Gary said he used an orbital DA sander with 150 grit(?) which I have access to. Would be open to any advice here.

Wow! The coloring on this is phenomenal! My cabs are in very similar condition as far as being dry. I'm about to start work on them. As far as sanding goes, what did you finish with, the 150 grit? And for the oil, just any boiled linseed oil will do or do you have a preferred brand?

Hahaha, alright then, I'll open them up tonight and post pics. How did you determine the finish from the serial number? I was wondering if that was possible. So, Howard's restore-a-finish in walnut with quad-zero steel wool and then feed and wax forthcoming. 👍

So i just picked up a pair of consecutive serial number Heresy I's and am excited to say the least. They are not in mint condition and I would like to do what I can to get them looking and sounding as best as possible. Neither one has the paper labels on the back anymore. From what I have read, the process for restoring the wood can be different based on what the cabinets are made from. I am hoping someone can help me identify them. I know I'm never getting the labels back, but in situations with missing labels, is there a common practice? Do people create some kind of new label just so that the information is back with the cabinets or no? I am excited to open them up so we can see what and if anything has been done to them but I have yet to do so because I wanted to post here beforehand, is there anything I need to know before I open them up?
