New guy with a PT-6 to Restore
#9

Hey new guy!

That is a good looking radio and I don't see veneer issues or cracking but maybe it is my eyes.
As for the finish, The original as far as I can tell seems to be Natural on the curved sides with no toner. The veneer looks to be a very nice burl so I hope it is not photofinish. if it is , you can try saving it and only GOJO'ing the curved sides or strip it and remake the finish. Use dark walnut on the sides and grill face. The grill bars are also untoned. There are many variations but I think those are personal touches. Strip the cabinet with lacquer thinner and a rag or #0000 steel wool. Then clean it up with a rag and mineral spirits or more lacquer thinner. I am not sure of your expertise but show us pictures of the damage and we can guide you from there. If there is cracks and veneer lifting, Make sure to fix those issues before stripping.

Welcome and keep us posted. Russ, Steve or Ron may have different ideas as they have been doing this much longer.

Dont try to save the decal

Ok have to go to the house now.

Regards
Kirk
