(I have moved portions of this thread from my catchall thread Ron's Cabinet Work for the 2018 Season thread since this is not a Philco. The other thread will now concentrate on the Philco cabinets I'm working on.)
As many of you know, I had purchased this RCA Victor T7-5 tombstone at Kutztown in May.

I wrote about the chassis restoration of this set here.
So in July, I decided to attempt to redo the cabinet of this set, along with a few other radio cabinets.
July 29.
I began stripping the cabinet...

I made fair progress on this RCA T7-5. It was painted in the dark areas. (How did I end up with all of these painted cabinets?)
Anyway, the front and the right side are mostly stripped now. The paint on the left and right sides on the top is very stubborn. I have yet to strip the left side.
