We've finally climbed out of the 30s so it's time to repaint this cabinet

I picked up a tub big enough to submerge the cabinet. I filled it with some water and Washing Soda (Sodium Carbonate).
I used a 2A/10A battery charger for the juice and a big old cold chisel for the sacrificial iron.


I was really surprised that the paint was bubbling off in only 30 minutes!
A few hours later and it was all off


It worked even better on the orange paint.


I had some gray and maroon primer on hand and used appropriately.


Now it's time to pull the chassis and dunk the rest of the cabinet.
