I think some of the issues with people stripping the photo finish is that they think it is real wood until it is too late. Also, my experience has shown that photo finish on alot of radios did not survive well. Whenever I hear about an early 40's or postwar Zenith, my first question is always about the photo finish. I have noted that even radios that are stored in a dry spot will sometimes start shedding the stuff if enough of a temperature change is experienced.
