I've made a little more progress on this Stromberg-Carlson. While stripping the rest of the cabinet the brass feet got a polish and then some brass lacquer to keep them shiny. Here they are about half way through the process. They all got a final polish just before the lacquer went on.

The brads that were originally used to keep the brass feet on the legs were steel and a bit rusty so I made some new ones out of brass brads that were a bit too long.

The trim piece has been glued onto the new front panel door and the entire door panel stained to get it to be very close to the rest of the cabinet.

Still have the legs and drop leaf sides to strip and then I'll tone it lightly, add the decals and clear lacquer it. That may have to wait for better weather. I also need to craft a new bezel. The original was crumbling away and warped. I will have to make a wooden one I think.
