Hey Brett, A handy tool for those mouldings are tadpole sanders. They're little rubber blocks you wrap sandpaper around. All different shapes. I think Klingspor has them. I use them a lot. So far mine have held up against chemicals too.

I have an early 1900s Victrola player cabinet that we picked up at an estate auction. Amazingly, mostly working condition (brake pads don't stop it when not playing, we just let it wind down every time). Cabinet is not in good shape, weird rough texture on the shellac(?) surface finish. I'm definitely going to give this a shot. I've never considered "wet sanding" wood, let alone with a finish liquid. I figure worst case scenario is full refinish at some later date. Appreciate your videos on these old machines, I don't have time currently, but plan on giving mine a thorough going-through at some point. It's fun cranking it up and listening every once in a while.

You really don’t want a full refinish if you don’t have to, it is far better to restore than to refinish.

I am the previous owner of this cabinet and owned it for many years. We are so glad that you came along to buy it and appreciate it for what it is. Glad to see if being used for its intended purposes.

Great video! Thank you for this. I was nervous to refinish my Victrola but you really made it look doable. Thanks.

We are not refinishing this cabinet, we are restoring it, and there is a big difference. We will take you carefully through the steps.

Hello! I would like to know what product was used to restore the cabinet. Here in Brazil we use Danish oil, tung and carnauba wax. Congratulations!

I use a hand cleaner called goop, without pumice, and 0000 steel wool.
