Arran - The old fashioned paint and varnish removers are no longer sold in this country. 
Years ago I used some paint remover called Kwik. That stuff burned the skin...and it worked. Ah, the good old days...
And I suspect you are correct about the 39-770's finish. Philco did claim the following about their 1939 Tropic cabinets: The cabinet is treated with a special sealing compound which protects it against moisture and heat.
Phlogiston - Thanks for the suggestion, perhaps I'll try that tomorrow morning since I don't have to work (Memorial Day).
