I like this part:
"The root cause of the demise of the Norlin Corporation must be sought in the fateful decision made by Norton Stevens and his board of directors to divest the company's operations in Ecuador and to acquire entirely new lines of business in electronics, music, and printing, all areas in which the Norlin executives had no prior experience. The most damaging criticisms of Norlin's management came in regard to the 1969 acquisition of the Musical Instrument Company: it 'immediately filled its management ranks with MBAs who had no previous experience with musical instrument design and manufacture.' "

As I'd mentioned in a previous post, this hard maple back looked pretty plain with no lacquer on it - but now, with some finish applied, the figure really pops - it also has a beautiful refractive quality, and the figure seems to move as light hits if from different angles.

Finish going on.....

Lovely!

I thought there was a Cameo coming from this batch. Was I wrong?
