u/M-August

I played Pokemon Ruby and Emerald as a kid several times, but realized today that I had never actually beaten the Elite 4 before. Somehow I had convinced myself I had beaten both games as a kid, lol. Anyway, kind of a vanilla team but I’m proud. Riachu and Blastoise were the clear MVPs.

As seen from the Gowanus Canal / 3rd st bridge.

I found these on the curb today, with a plan to restore them but feeling like I’m not certain about the steps necessary to do so. They’re in decent shape but the veneer is stained and deeply scratched in certain areas, and the front design of the cabinet doors is peeling off. In the worse parts, the veneer is sort of flaking off in a ridged pattern as well (for lack of a better descriptor).

I bought some citristrip and related tools, and am planning to strip the current finish. Past that, I’m not confident in the next steps.

Also, I plan on doing this in an apartment, so input on whether that is a bad idea is also appreciated, lol.
