The finish on the cabinet of the 37-650 I am restoring has degraded in several areas. My preference is to strip the original finish off, do some light sanding and refinish as close to the original as possible.

I am looking for suggestions on the best way to remove the original finish. Attached are a couple of pictures with the chassis and accessories removed.
