A few days ago, I got in a Zenith 4B231, nice little 6 volt farm set (seller thought it had a missing cord). The case looks pretty nice, and I may not even try to refinish it.
   

However, this is what it looked like from the back.
   

Note the forest green house paint, laid on with a fairly large brush.

   

This is after I have scraped and sanded part of the chassis. I have also removed the cans over the IF's, RF coil, and vibrator. I stripped those, sanded, primed and repainted them with stainless steel paint (closest thing I could find to the original look).

As you can see, underneath the green was some awful neon orange house paint (both are enamel and very difficult to remove..) This is after more scraping and sanding. I have now applied a generous coating of paint remover, and will see later this evening if it has softened it up enough to remove without a chisel. If I end up having to remove everything from the chassis in order to clean all that garbage off of there, I will. I'll do the same as I did with the cans, since I have no way of getting any hammertone brass paint.

Wish me luck!
