Any radio that did not kill anyone deserves being saved. As I understand if it did, it would be probably hanged, drawn and quartered and then discarded without a decent burial, so someone having painted it Hideous Bluegreen indicates it did not commit anything reprehensible over its life time. So it deserves the second life.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Hopefully the paint was simply protecting the veneer all these years!

I would eat the tootsie rolls and think about how to attack that one, what is the plan as they would say on "GO GO Gophers"?

Paint strip day for mine to see what's lurking under that ugly paint.

Why would anyone ever cover up that beautiful wood with paint? They should be ashamed of themselves!

Did some more stripping today wit citristrip. Only found one flaw on the front just to the right of the escutcheon hole. I'm going to hit it with lacquer tomorrow morning. Too darn hot this afternoon, 99 deg. right now.

It also looks like the paint acted as a grain filler so will have to use the lacquer to get it out.

Thank you Kenneth. I do feel lucky it turned out as it has. I will post 1 more picture of the cabinet after I get it completely stripped hopefully tomorrow. Then I have to finish the Western Auto radio cabinet I have been working on.
