The cabinet had a few surface dings and had quite a bit of white paint transfer where I guess it had brushed up against a wall. I just used some old english scratch cover and some elbow grease. It doesn't look as though it was ever refinished. In the right light you can see some light crazing/crackling of the lacquer in the top right corner, but it doesn't bother me. I mean, it is 60-some-odd years old, right?! (And it looks like it belongs in my 90 year old house...)
It was fun cleaning up the cabinet...it just sort of started to glow! The turntable was so caked in dust it wouldn't budge, but my 2 year old little neat freak and I got that up and running. (Don't know if it plays, but it spins and the arm goes over there...) Not going to try playing anything, though, until it's recapped.
Thanks again for all the advice. I'll get my caps ordered and let you know how it goes!
