Model 52-T1882 doors restoration
#2

Hi James and welcome,

The finish on the front of this cabinet is a large decal that placed over the wood to make it different than what it really is. In your case the decal is failing at the bottom of the door. The area down by the speaker is colored by using toned lacquer which can be refinished or touched up.
The door really depends on how artistic you are. I've done some smaller areas w/good results but the bigger the area the harder it is to hide. 

I used a combination of sanding sealer, water based acrylic paints, and very small brushes. Used yellow, black and red to make three different brown colors. Apply with artistic talent to replicate the original.

Mohawk has a full line of refinishing supplies including toner (lacquer)

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
