Philco 38-12 Cabinet Strip
#1

Greetings and hope all is well! I just purchased a Philco 38-12 whose cabinet looks like it was refinished in a high school shop class, and I am planning to strip off the old stain and finish, which might be varnish or lacquer (something else...who knows?). I am no stranger to this, and often use Citristrip for vintage rifle stocks. However...unlike old gun stocks, this cabinet is made of veneers and has a couple of nice inlays (see example photo below), which I don't want to damage. I've always liked Citristrip because it seems to be a bit gentler than other products, but I am afraid that it might cause the veneers and/or inlays to separate. I'm still a newbie to these nice old radios, so appreciate any advice or recommendations from the experts! Many thanks.
