Cleaning and refinshing

Now for the fun part - cleaning and refinishing

I'm using acid follow by Simichrome on the chassis and the speaker frame.






Now the the cabinet. It has a only one bad area where the veneer has separated and chipped.


A little soaking softened up the veneer.


A little glue, wax paper and weight.


It turned out well.


I used a scrapper to get off most of the old finish without damaging the front panel. Sandpaper got rid of the rest.



Now some shellac to fill the grain.


Next up a little stain and lacquer.
