Hammarlund HQ-129-X
#30

Today I finally got off my lazy butt and began to strip the cabinet. It has several layers of old paint, the top one being silver. it seems to be applied over some other paint which, on the sides and back crinkled badly. The inside of the cabinet has a black crinkle paint, very fine textured, not like the outside, which may be original. Today I managed to clean off the top and the back. The back, with all the louvers was a pain. I have gone through about 3/4 of a can of paint stripper, and the same of mineral spirits. I am wondering what the original color and texture of the cabinet was; if it was the battleship grey of my HQ-140-X and HQ-145, or something else. If any of you know for sure, please let me know. Thanks.
