I was a little luckier with a 40-158 radio I recently refinished. It had been in an attic or basement for over 60 years but didn’t have any delamination. To finish it, I decided to break the rules an sand off the old finish, blend a Min-Wax stain for the ‘white wood’ to match the natural finish of the walnut veneer, and then apply a brushing lacquer over everything. The result is a little more visible wood grain vs. a toning lacquer. Attached are before and after pics.
