Fantastic work Mitch. That restoration is unreal.
I see your Klondike had the same "woodgrain contact" on it that my hi lo ace had around the ball arch. When I peeled it off ,it left a near new surface, maybe the operators put it on to protect it?
anyway congrats. I can't wait for the Dracula resto, that Stern will look fantastic compared to the last time I saw it.
cheers Steve.
