36-650 Finish - Bill Bacco - 03-29-2024

Does anyone know what type of finish (such as lacquer or shellac) was used on a 36-650X?

Mine has a lot of flaking/cracked varnish and I am looking for the best method to remove this, without using something like Citristrip, in an effort to minimize hurting the underlying stain.

I have used Formby's Furniture Refinisher in the past on some other radios with great results.  However, they no longer make that, so I am looking for an alternative.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Bill

Toned lacquer no stain at all. So when the finish is removed so is the coloring and has to be replaced by using toned lacquer.
