Well now that Spring has arrived, finally got to go out on the deck to refinish my Majestic 50. Installed new grille cloth and finished the chassis some time ago. I’m not a fan of doing cabinets so cheated a little on this one. After stripping and cleaning the original finish, the cabinet retained its original color so I didn’t see any need to use colored toner on it. I just shot it with some sanding sealer then 3 coats of clear satin lacquer.
