I would highly recommend that you use a chemical stripper next time rather then a sander, there isn't much meat to the veneer all it takes is one slip up and you've burned right through it.
I have a Philco 620 where someone used a an electric disk sander on it, not only are there a bunch of swirl marks but they all but ruined the molding on the front panel. Unfortunately the only way to repair the swirl marks is to reveneer the front panel, they are too deep to sand out, the moldings I'm not sure what to do with.[/u]
