Thanks! I've been collecting pictures of the original RCA 222 legs and lower shelf. Someday I'll scrape up some money and have replicas made.
I finished with sanding and moved on to toner lacquer.
First, I masked off the area around the lower shelf and sprayed a few light coats.
Once that dried, I masked it off and sprayed the top. Next up I'll move on to the sides.
I find it a lot easier to work in small sections rather than attempt to get an even coat over the whole cabinet at once.
