Used a electric hand sander 80 grit paper went over it following the different grains in the wood,being careful to just take the lacquer off to bare wood will go over it with fine paper next apply some light stain to the bottom and the strip just at the top. Then spray Lacquer it all over..Did it the same way to the radio(except for a slightly lighter stain will go on mine) I gave to my Sister..here's a pic of hers
