It's not a great photo, but hopefully you can see what I saw. Filthy, weird, but with some great potential, yes?
I stripped it down to it's component parts: wooden backing, glass front, dirty chrome and grubby bakelite. Each piece was cleaned according to it's needs and material.

I discarded that weird photo that was under the glass and rooted in my stash of stuff for something nice to replace it with, and found a lovely piece of thick, blue and silver paper.
Now look!
Problem is, now it's so clean and shiny it's hard to get a good picture without any reflections
Even with help on the photo shoot from my little one:

I LOVE my new tray and I'm happy to have given it a new lease of life.
Progress on yesterday's soothing project continues, and I hope to get some more done tonight
