Getting off topic from the Swell Philco Rob did, and while the finish is frustrating these things happen, sometimes you figure why sometimes not.
I had an RCA a friend finished for me, was great then got a small white hazy area, maybe a polish I used, maybe some moisture cooked up from underneath lacquer, who knows? To make it even better the cat then scrabbled all over the tp panel to scratch it up nice too. Still plays well....... 
We had a fellow in our club do a presentation on Curtain Burners, if you got the time......
