Stripped most of the cabinet with work still to be done, but wanted to share my progress.  I utilized a citrus stripper initially but it was messy and not as strong.  I ended using a 1:1 acetone/lacquer thinner mix and that worked well.  Any recommendations as to best finish.  I read through the different threads and there are so many options.  Also, was thinking about sanding to a polish and using a finishing wax. thoughts?
