Judging by what I see of the cabinet, I'd say it was a candidate for a cleanup with GoJo and a rub down with Howard's and then a wax job..... Refinishing, for me should be avoided, unless absolutely necessary. The world has enough unnecessarily refinished radios already! (and yes, I have refinished radios)
