So here's where I'm at.  final coats of lacquer have been applied.  I'll wait a few weeks for it to completely dry and cure (using pre-cat lacquer).  I have a couple of small runs to sand out and then finish sand with wet 400, 600, 1200, and maybe 2000 grit paper.  Then rub out with polishing compound.  A freakin lot of work!

The white wood has lots of filler to fill dents so it was toned with a light color, opaque toner to hide the repairs, then toned with Medium Brown Walnut and VanDyke brown.  It may be a bit darker than original but all my less than professional repairs are hidden.  Grain filler was Mohawk walnut sealed with EZvinyl sealer.  Then mohawk sanding sealer. Then semi-gloss pre-cat lacquer.  The walnut top and sides have only a very tiny bit of medium walnut toner, otherwise it is the color of the wood after the grain filler was applied after a wash coat of sealer.  The diffusers are easy to remove so they were finished separately from the cabinet.

I have a really hard time with the rattle cans of toner.  I can't get an even color.  This cabinet is practice for an EH Scott I need to refinish so I've learned that I may need to mix my own toner and spray with a gun for a more even color.
