I own a 42-1008 and need to restore the finish. There are a few scratches and a small section of the top has been damaged by water. I would like to not refinish the whole piece. Is this possible? What is the finish? Varnish? As I have just found this site and I come unprepared. I shall post photos to show the damage.

Hello:

The original finish is lacquer. Get yourself a can of Howard's Restore-A-Finish in walnut. This is probably all you need.
