restoring cabinet; where to begin?
#3

Soooo... that's why I couldn't find any 47-1230 on the main site!
Tell me what you need, and I'll supply pictures to you. (do you need before/after?)


Here's a few questions:

Where do we get veneer that matches our radios?

and... how do we strip the original finish? I do not want to damage it in the process, so I prefer asking first.
To be honest, I am not certain there's still any of the original finish that remains, everything is kind of dull on the radio, and somewhat dark. I think it is either aged, or stripped.
How can someone tell?
