I just purchased a set of Rogers XP8 shells - 8x12 - 9x13 - 16x16 - 22x14 all from the same set. These are, arguably, the best shells that Rogers made. The previous owner had covered them with some kind of self stick contact paper,ughhhhhhhh. The original finish was natural maple. I'm going to have to remove the (ugh) contact paper and hopefully not disturb the finish. Any suggestions? I have almost all of the memriloc hardware that would be right for this kit and will get the lugs, rims, T's and claws from that period. If the finish has to be redone I'm thinking about doing a dark wine stain. I've been playing the same Rogers Holiday set for over forty years (64 Dyna-Sonic) and have restored them to original look. I wonder how you feel about me taking the XP8's away from period finish?

Hmmmm
