OK So I know as far as refinishing my radio cabinet goes Polyurathane is out of the question and so is Varnish (basically the same thing as Polyurathane).

So now I'm wondering what is the difference between Shellac and Lacquer? And could I use either one? I know Shellac was very commonly used as a top coat on radio cabinets during the 1930s and 1940s by some radio manufacturers like Zenith and RCA, but could it also be used on a Philco as well or would it bge more correct to use Lacquer on a Philco Cabinet, or does it matter?
