Sand the cabinet carefully and refinish exactly the same way you would
any good piece of furniture. Early cabinets were considered
furniture and were made as strong as any other piece of furniture. I
have just restored a 1953 Admiral tv console and the cabinet
refinishing took as long as the electronics repair. I just have to
put the chassis back in the cabinet and then it goes up for sale. The
CRT is in great condition, and for a 1953 set, the picture is
amazingly good.

The TV programs were better back then, as well. It was a new medium,
and people weren't afraid to try something new, unlike today's cookie
cutter formats.
