Willkommen!

That is a hard one with all that detail. Hand painting is going to be very hard so I would also recommend somehow getting a decal. I would first try stripping the cabinet carefully. Rattle cans are a softer paint than the original philco paint. If you use easy off oven cleaner and don't leave it on too long that will do it but be careful. Otherwise alcohol and some #0000 steel wool or a rag and some elbow grease( not too much). Try the alcohol first then the oven cleaner.
