General Television - unknown model
#15

The grill cloth is intact but I want to take it out so it does not get damaged with lacquer spray and because of the wooden grill I can't really mask it. Originally it was glued directly to the cabinet behind the wooden grill and fortunately the glue is old enough that I was able to pry it off slowly with a knife so I'll be able to reuse it.

The cabinet was not in terrible shape. A bit of veneer regluing and a very light strip with citristrip and a light wipe with lacquer thinner on a cloth took off the flaky clear lacquer along with some of the toner lacquer on the top strip of veneer. Hopefully I'll be able to retone that. I did put a coat of lacquer sanding sealer on but will likely wait until I get some warmer weather to try the toner and final clear coats.
