Hi Pat,
I'm new here and was viewing some of the posts on the cabinet portion of the forum. I was very impressed with your work at restoring the cabinets on those two radios!
I am trying my first restoration. It is a console 41-608 and the cabinet is in need of some work. By looking at your first one and saying you got it to look this beautiful "without refinishing", I'm wondering how you do that.
I really have no experience with this area. I've done woodwork staining and varnishing around my home but am curious, if you don't mind sharing with a newbie, how do you go about accomplishing such a beautiful job.
No doubt it is more than a short note can explain but still curious about what you did with scratches, bare areas etc. The cabinet I'm dealing with has a large circular water ring on the top. The rest of the cabinet is not too bad but looks very dusty and dull, etc.
Thanks for your response and help.
Best regards,
Harlan
