Either paint and varnish remover, if bakelite or wood, or DOT 3 brake fluid if polystyrene (which should also work on bakelite. As for the antenna you don't have to remove it to strip the cabinet (although you have to be careful) but if it's coming off already I guess you could reglue it with contact cement.
