Mine had the same type of nicks, areas of missing finish, etc.; especially on the top. But, overall, it was worse than yours appears to be. I scraped the top, and the old finish came off easily. The same happened on one of the sides. But the finish refused to budge on the other side by scraping, so I was forced to get out the harsh chemicals. Even at that, the old finish didn't come off without putting up a fight first.

There was a lot of finish missing from the front panel. Since I was stripping the cabinet anyway, I also went over the front panel. I just barely put the chemicals over the PHILCO decal, expecting it to melt away. I was very happy when it didn't! So that portion of the finish is sort of original, with new lacquer over the top of it.
