I have a question regarding wood used and proper method to restore.

1) Is any of the cabinet made from Photo Finish Material? My "inexperience" shows .. How can you test for Photo Finish vs Veneer?

2) The front dial faceplate area has the PHILCO decal. I don't know if I can gently strip / remove- and reseal a new one with laquer-- or is this on "Photo Finish

3) After I clean -strip the wood with 50/50 Thinner-Acetone - Is a Mohawk clear laquer apropriate to get original colors back or possibly a coat of light translucent brown? The posts columns are two-tone --would similar treatment work?

4) Dial-- I have white moldy film on the dial. Can this be cleaned with mineral spirits?
