Thank you.

This is going to be quite a job, but I should be able to use a citrus stripper to do this in sections. The hardest part will be the roll top which is on canvas. Not sure about that yet.

Philco had a lot of photo phinish by 1937.

I doubt that "citrus stripper" is going to work on poly, it hardly works on lacquer.
