I just bought a Crosley 122 Super Buddy, it has a repwood cabinet, it will need light restoration on the cabinet. What would be the best product to use to remove the old finish, without hurting the repwood I plan on useing laquer toner and a clear laquer to finish it. Will there be an adhesion problem with the laquer toner or finish?

Probably the best way to remove the old finish is with a rag soaked (not dripping) in acetone. Carefully rub away the old finish, and leave a 1/2 inch gap between the wood and the repwood. Then carefully work away the remaining finish near the repwood. Do not get any acetone on the repwood. Regular methods of stripping are too messy, and might slop onto the repwood. You might also try masking the repwood, but unless the masking tape is of the highest quality (I believe that there is a green brand that pulls away well), you might pull off the repwood.

The radio was most likely originally finished in lacquer, so refinishing with lacquer will work well.

I haven't had a problem using paint remover on repwood but don't use any that's water based.
