Philco 620 w/Brush Hushatone WWII Hospital Radio?
#10

The first stripper was citrus based. It barely touched the milk paint. So I used some chemical stripper from Lowes called Jasco. It dissolved the milk paint into sort of a goo-like paste/paint substance, but wouldn't remove it. So I cleaned it up as best as possible with mineral spirits, then hit it with the citrus based stripper again, and that did the job.

Here is the final result -
   


And here is the same cabinet with grain filled and toner finished. Ready for clear...
   

I screwed up by making the strip at the top dark, but it's too late now. I looked at several photos of original 620s and could've sworn that little strip was dark, but it's too late now. Oh well.. I like it.
