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.
