38-2 cabinet finish, what did they use originally
#12

ok I get it....and I got a chuckle out of this, imagine, ill get out that old rockwell sander with 80 grit and some fast dry poly.........
Its in good enough shape, i want to keep the woodwork to a minimum, and had thought about only doing spots. i know i cant sand around the speaker grille area. if i do end up chemically stripping off the old lacquer, ill do the whole cabinet. Ive been taking my time with this one, almost two years and im just now powering it up. there will be some warm enough days next month to wheel it outside.
