New to the Phorum here.  I have a 37-610 very similar to the 37-650 pictured in this thread and am considering refinishing it. The cabinet isn't horrible but is dinged up and scratched up enough that I'm thinking about a refinish.
My question is, how do you deal with the PHILCO decal?  Will the lacquer thinner/acetone solution mentioned here damage that decal?  Maybe a silly question but since I'm a novice at this, I don't want to do something that can't be undone.
Thanks much,
Randy
