Philco 44B Cabinet Finish
#3

Thanks Bill!
I'll need to wait for some warm weather. Don't want all that acetone in my garage! Should I do the entire cabinet? The front looks good, but I'm sure the color of the newly stripped top/sides won't look good compared to the darker front. I may have answered my own question, if I spray lacquer the top/siides, it certainly won't look like the front.  I would think if it was a Tombstone, the entire cabinet would need stripped.

I was afraid that there was really no good way to restore the finish without some major re-work.

Thanks
