Hi Joseph, I completely stripped the old finish from the cabinet and then washed it down with lacquer thinner, then OMS. Then sprayed on clear sealer then applied grain filler and rubbed it off. Then a few coats of colored lacquer and lastly several coats of clear gloss lacquer. After a few weeks to give it time to cure you can then use a rubbing compound to sort of even out the finish and smooth it then rub down with a paste wood wax. I have automotive rubbing compound just not sure if I can use that.

10 years ago I did a 6 hour round trip to buy this radio. I have gone through the 
chassis long ago and kept procrastinating on refinishing the cabinet ever since. I don’t like doing cabinet work at all  I figured it was time already to get this thing done!
