Went veneer shopping this week and this is it, 2 x 2 meters of american walnut. It´s a bit thinner then the stuff used on the cabinets, so I´ll use two layers and sand down to a matching thickness.
The wood looks more reddish than i really is, will have to get a little "creative" to match the colors as best as possible.

First one turned out ok, IMO.

No Randy, no staples, didn´t want them to be seen later. And i didn´t want to buy a stapler just for this. Just glue and clamping, starting with the large areas. The edges I "pre-folded" with clamps and a heat-gun, that made gluing around the edges easier for me afterwards.

@AndreG. André ! Seems to be a very very very longterm project 😉
Yes, but finally it´s coming together. One cabinet is done, the other I mentioned above. After that I only have to wait for my tweeters.

I´m also busy with getting the grilles done, finally. To be honest, I´m a bit intimidated - will they turn out straight in the end...

Yea, had to keep up w/Full Range when he broke out all his beautiful solid state gear. I scratched an itch I'd had since these came out. Too pricey back in the day. I had a big Marantz and I was never home enough to truly enjoy it.
This is the second Mac 4100 receiver I've seen my auctioneer post in the past 2-3 months so I caved. Got it at a great price but it was on a shelf in some old guy's 3 car garage full of junk. I also got a Sony cd player and Teac cassette deck as a bonus. It was powering a pair of old Zenith Allegro box speakers from the 60's or so. I just laffed and brought it home. Wiped an inch of dust off and fired it up. Could push it and leave it alone but I'll drop it off to the Mc tech a couple hours away. For what I payed it's the least I can do. Sounds great on my old Heresy right now!
Yea, this one's on you @Full Range! ALL your fault. 😂
This old stuff definitely has a cool factor to it... I´m always torn.... But I guess, in the end it will be a newer Yamaha amp for me, once I have the bucks to spare.

Welcome to the Forum!
Nice LaScalas and no hopeless case, I think. First, it would be useful to have pictures taken of those paper-labels on the back of the cabinets. This makes identifying age and type of wood easier, even more so if we´re talking value. (Keep them!).
Restoring You have several paths open to You:
- Leave as is and sell. (Meh)
- Just sand down and oil and wax or re-stain. This is especially easy if these are un-veneered birch cabinets.
- Sand and apply a veneer of Your choosing.
How much work You want to invest is up to You, Can´t say much about value ( I´m from Europe, Heritage stuff is crazy expensive, even run-down stuff...), others will chime in with more knowledge for US values.
My two cents and good luck!

Playing the CD which contains this track reminded me of a thought/ poem that is partly mentioned in it:
"Weißt du wirklich, was das heißt: allein zu sein unter den Sternen, preisgegeben der Unendlichkeit, die dich frieren lässt, sobald sie dein Bewusstsein streift? Wahrscheinlich weißt du es nicht. Die wenigsten haben es erfahren. Es ist das grausamste Glück, das man sich erträumen kann. Einige, die es durchleben mussten, haben dabei das Beten wieder gelernt; andere verloren den Verstand."
"Do you really know what it means: to be alone under the stars, exposed to the infinity that makes you shiver as soon as it touches your consciousness? You probably don't know. Few have experienced it. It is the cruelest happiness one can dream of. Some who lived through it learned how to pray again; others lost their minds."
Nikolai von Michalewsky
I devoured his SciFi books as a boy and i still return to his stories every now and then. The music is from the OST that belongs to the very well made audio books.
