I used Mohawk semi-gloss clear lacquer and rubbed out with mineral oil and rottenstone. This was my first attempt at refinishing a large console cabinet. If I had it to do over, I would have sprayed a few more coats of lacquer on it. I still could do that but I would need to wash the cabinet down with OMS mineral spirits to remove the wax I applied after finishing. Plus it would require me taking the chassis and speaker board out again  It was a learning experience. It took most of last summer to spray the lacquer dealing with getting days with no wind and the proper humidity and temperature and a wife who is tolerant of my hobby but absolutely won’t put up with lacquer fumes in the house, thus the need to drag it out on the deck anytime I was spraying anything! As for the dial bezel, I sprayed multiple coats of Extra Dark Walnut on it.
