-1-A cabinet restoration:


As you can see, underneath all that baked-on shellac, there is wood!  It took THREE (count-em--THREE!) applications to remove the thick
rhino-like finish. 

More photos of stripping:  (spots are baked-on islands of stubborn shellac that will require manual cleaning)
The interior was so dark and crusty that it too needed to be stripped.  OY, what a job.








The drip pan (sits under motor) is different from any other Amberola 1-A model observed.  It has been stripped and re-painted glossy black as original.

FINALLY got the majority of the wood work done to the corner pillars, and did some filling of minor imperfections.   I proceeded to stain the wood (inside and out) to help locate more imperfections to repair.
