You are going to get a lot of opinions, but i will tell you what i have done when i dont want to get too involved.
Get some acetone and lacquer thinner. Mix 50/50 and strip the whole set down. Just keep wiping with the wet rags, That bad part you have will likely disappear and you can stop at any point then, just try to make the whole set look even. buy wiping with the 50/50 mix, discarding rags as they build up with old lacquer.
It will all look immediately better. Then i usually stain with some golden oak to give it some brightness, but a darker stain or none at all , its up to you. You'll see what the finish will look like when you wet it with the thinner.
Then go buy a can or 2 of gloss lacquer and put on some even coats to the shine/build you like.
An hour? Sure longer as the lacquer dries.
Have fun
