Just went to Phoenix and they indeed do have a beautiful (and very
complete) repro set. Thnx for the tip. (It looks like the others are
selling the Phoenix pieces, actually.)
Unfortunately on the wood, the sides have been cut down and most of the
interior seems to be disintegrating. It is less about surface prep and
more about structural integrity. There are other things as well, so
unless I find a decent cabinet (without buying a new machine) I will
likely build a new one.
