[TenTec] "Elderly" TT cabinet refinish

[Ariel M. Elam]

Hi to the list --

Some years ago I acquired many rolls (ends) of vinyl in many colors and
textures, some long, some short. It was used to make vinyl covered
notebooks of the type used to make loose-leaf catalogs. Rolls are about
50 inches wide. Vinyl has no cloth backing on most. It has been stored
in a cool building and has not deteriorated. 

To help in restoring a rig, I will ship a sample, then $10.00 for one
yard for the trouble of digging it out and shipping. More is cheaper.
Send me a color, texture, and a sase. Post first. Most is fairly smooth,
NOT TEXTURED.

If you can remove existing vinyl, this PROBABLY can be attached with
contact cement.

In addition, it looks like someone wrapped a few turns of duct tape around the cabinet and let it sit for a decade or so.
