I just got a free 73 key fender rhodes :D  Yes Free!!! The case is rather beat up. I can't decide what I should do:
Should I leave it looking how it was made to look, or should I put astro-turf on the top?

lol @ astro turf!!!

I've always thought orange would look cool... but yeah the only thing is if you do something unconvential then it will probably be harder to sell if you ever wanted to...

Rip that tolex off, sand it, stain it and finish it with a gloss poly coat. NO DEBATE....
If you want to know where to find the booze, ask the engineer...

DEAR RHODES OWNER,

I BELIEVE THAT THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO RE-TOLEX IT WITH A NICE COLOR OF YOUR CHOICE.
RECENTLY I DID IT WITH MY MARK I 88 IN A DARK RED COLOR AND IT IS WONDERFUL !
DON'T MISS THE CHANCE 'CAUSE YOU CAN NOT DO IT EVERY DAY WITH A RHODES...
