Elac Miracord turntable, refinishing the wooden plinth?

I just bought an Elac Miracord model 50H turntable with a nice wooden plinth, and there are matching wooden sides on the dust cover. The wood is in great condition, but is kind of a dull walnut color. Would it hurt the value of this piece if I were to apply a slightly darker stain to the wooden pieces, and apply a glossy polyurethane top coat?

    the proper treatment of wood of this era is to apply furniture or neats foot oil. putting on a top coat would be a bad idea.
