One more thing though, use proper paint and varnish remover to strip the cabinet, lacquer thinner and acetone are not going to cut it this time. However the lacquer thinner and acetone are good from removing residue after you get the paint off. It looks like someone in the 1950s or 60s had a go at "Antiqueing" this poor model 52, that was the decorating trend of doubtful taste from that time, tackiness didn't begin in the 1970s you know.
