The heat has been record-breaking lately so I decided to do some refinishing and touchups.
As for the rest of the cabinet, I'm going to retain the old finish. Just a light sanding following by lacquer sanding sealer to fill in the voids. Finally, a few coats of gloss lacquer.
All the sanding is tedious but I figure better than stripping.
The metal sleeves on these decorative rails are solid brass but incredibly tarnished. Once polished up, I expect they'll look awesome
The dial glass cleaned up nicely and I've ordered a set of reproduction pushbuttons.
