Thanks Terry...

I’m sure you can see all the cracks in the old lacquer, which is why I was thinking about stripping it. I wonder if I can spray it with lacquer and it will flow out the old cracked lacquer. After it’s glued down of course. Any toner suggestions?

Jake, I’m not too ambitious. The radio works well and was easy to restore. This cabinet is a piece of cake compared to the 38-690 I did. I just want the cabinet nice for when I sell it.
