Yesterday I tried to see if I could remove the "shellack" from the cabinet. I have not worked with shellack before so I'm only going off what the owner says it is. I tried acetone and it didn't even phase the finish even leaving a cloth soaked in the stuff on the finish.

My next attempt will be 50/50 mix of acetone and lacquer thinner.

Anyone else have experience trying to strip shellack? If that's what it really is. Or should I just leave it and fill the grain and tone and clear the sucker?

I also might attempt to patch the hole where the toggle switch is, I have some mahogany veneer that looks like it will match pretty well. Plus if I get it patched and there are minor flaws they should be mostly covered by the Philco decal.
