Just to add my two cents....Years ago when I aquired my CT-100 it was structually in very good condition. But, the previous owner had painted it antique white. I didn't hasitate to strip that stuff off and refinish the cabinet. I have never been totally happy with my efforts as I could never achieve that nice high gloss piano finish. I may yet send it out to the professionals. Last year I had the chassis totally recapped and while there was a brief discussion about hiding the new caps inside the old caps for that original look, that idea was quickly discarded. As for your cabinet, send that puppy to the pros. You'll be a much happier CT-100 owner.
