Cracks in 10-Year Old Lacquer
#1

This is very strange. I had a Philco 71B cabinet professionally refinished about 10 years ago. While getting ready to dust it off I found these cracks in the finish on the front around the tuning knob. At first I thought it was wear from turning the knob but I hardly use it. Then I noticed some cracking on the left side and right side of the front panel. The front panel is the only place where this cracking has occurred. Any ideas on what might have caused this? Sorry for the big picture size but it makes it easier to see the issue.
